There's no reason that a CIA operative needs to be a white man, right? :P
I was going back and forth on this as well! I mean, it was worth it for the scene where the white man gets told to sit down and shut up because the grown-ups are talking and no one wants to hear his ill-informed colonizer opinion...but at the same time, I feel like Martin Freeman wasn't the best casting choice? I could buy him if he'd been an MI6 operative, but not as Air Force-turned-CIA. So yeah, I would have recast him with someone else.
