Agree completely with you - but is pointing out that often people are not widely aware of the different society groups and tend to focus on one element (be it politicians, filmmakers or any other), neglecting what you rightly call the 'complexities of reality', not rather the opposite of racism? A pointing out of a prejudice that should be fought? I saw selenak's comment as her calling attention to the wrongness of that existing prejudice and the narrow-minded view that most countries tend to have of one another!
