Cardiff and Swansea both had large black and chinese populations due to the shipping trade, they were major ports in those days instead of armpits of the nation that depend on EU funding as they are now.

Huh, I didn't know that (and stand corrected). Though I don't know how much the film focuses on people outside the kids. The book didn't even really, minus some brief moments in the tiny town on the island.

Ooh, thanks! I didn't know that (because I don't know much about Wales...), but it makes sense.

NAYRT
see, I would love if stories incorporated characters from backgrounds like that, in a natural way. my own family was all around the globe and mainly asia in the 19th and early 20th century, and I have a lot of chinese mixed relatives. still when you see a token nonwhite character, you recognize it. instead, it would add to the story if there were characters from another race for whom it makes sense to be there.
In adaptions, that doesn't work very well, though.
So I kinda have to agree with what I think he meant to say, if he had thought twice: obvious tokenism leaves a stale taste. If you can identify "the black" "the asian" and "the queer" character, it's really annoying and detrimentary to the story. there should be more prominently black/asian dominated stories instead, or stories that are written in a way for it to make sense, like set in a place or situation with a very diverse, maybe even not white-dominated background.
