Not to wear this out but I don't think District 9 was racist because the Nigerian issue crosses color lines. It's not fair to but as other folks have stated the perception is a common one in South Africa. I think nearly all of the humans with the exception of Wikus' assistant came off horribly.

Not quite. Mike Epps made about 2/3 of the way through the movie. He was hiding the zombie bite that eventually lead to his death. So he lasted through 1 and 2/3 Resident Evils. Oded Fehr had pretty much the same fate although he lasted a little longer. Ashanti did die fairly early though.
