Very yes to the unfortunate side effect of POC being somehow more in touch with nature. Also, I hadn't thought of Trinity in that light, but I think you're right. That's really neat, thanks!

Good call re: casting more Asian actors; also, I think if the mix in both Zion and in Neo's office were very racially mixed, you also would get less of the Asian=geek, black=earthy coding.

Hee, talking about this stuff online makes me wish I could talk to you about it in person.
