From my European viewpoint the reaction of the author to the technician is completely ludicrous.

The article is very interesting when the author talks about racial bias in his grandfather's times or in film manufacture not paying attention to detailing dark skin etc. But unless the technician used a racist tone, interpreting a perfectly valid technical remark about lighting as racism is ludicrous.

I guess that the American context makes people overly sensitive.
