I loved this movie, and I love all the things you loved!
I thought that having a white dude be the CIA guy was actually an insistence that white people own their shit. He explicitly says that Erik is "one of ours" - that the things he did were because of people like Ross and his ilk. I thought it actually worked that it was a white guy who delivered those lines. Had it been someone other than a white guy, I would have felt really uncomfortable. (I would cheerfully have enjoyed Ross dying, mind you. :D)
