I thought they were sort of intentionally trying to conflate it? Like the white guy (forget the character's name) isn't a great human being, but when push comes to shove, he tries to do the right thing. The fact that he's a CIA agent has a lot to do with why no one wants to trust him right away. But yeah, I don't remember, they probably didn't explore it as much as they could've. Then again, exploring it would've required more white guy screen time...

But more than that, I suppose they just needed someone in some kind of profession that made them useful for plot purposes, i.e. able to participate in combat scenes and able to share intelligence about Killmonger/other overworld plot elements (either with the audience or the other characters) - ergo, CIA agent. Joe Schmoe off the street would have required even more camera time to justify.

Even just making him, like, Navy intelligence or something like that would be better than CIA imho

but maybe that's just me

Eh, not really when his primary role was information about someone he wouldn't otherwise have info about. Like, why the fuck would a Naval intelligence officer know that much about Killmonger?
