Apparently it is problematic

"Pandering to whiteness"
Just like Trump did, apparently
In all seriousness though, it is bad when all the bad guys are minorities and all the good guys are "oppressed" white people.

Its insistence on this brand of heroism is further problematic when you consider the fact that all of Venom’s villains are people of colour and all its heroes are white.
"Pandering to whiteness"
Venom’s pandering to whiteness, particularly to those who are both white and poor and maybe even feeling forgotten or victimized in some way by the state of society in 2018, is obvious in its machinations. Indeed, that’s what will most likely draw swaths of people to see the film and enjoy it in the way it was intended. (Hey, it worked for Trump.)
