The Problem With "The Visitor"

I guess I agree with the premise of this review of The Visitor that the film treats Arabs as three-dimensional human beings... but does it treat the main character (who is white) as a three-dimensional human being? Walter Vale is an absurdly caricatured lovable loser straight out of stuffwhitepeoplelike.

White people are people, too!
