I am surprised no one has mentioned several of the non racial problems.
1. These people want to change bodies, but the result of body change is acting creepily around the house, making a scene in a party while your nose bleeds, almost lobotomized and being put in service positions despite being the heads of the family. The movie doesn't actually establishes why it would be better to change bodies. It expects that cultural baggage and bias informs us why it would be so great.
2. The art dealer who is blind (already nonsensical) wants to become this other man because he is a great photographer. Photography is a learned ability, it has nothing to do with genetics and I'm not even talking about race. Painting might be more influenced by genetics in the sense that you need more precision, better color interpretation, etc. In photography, a machine makes most of the work, your artistic work is emotional and intellectual, not physical. Your eyes are not better at photography than someone else's except in the case of being totally blind vs having working eyes, and in that sense any set of eyes would work. This means that the movie itself makes the racial aspect of the change completely irrelevant. Even if the guy was trying to switch to a white guy he wouldn't take advantage of his "vision".
But that is not all... The guy is not even a well known photographer. He is a struggling nobody having small time exhibitions. The movie tells us that he is a low level worker for the TSA. So the motivation is completely absurd. If it is true that because of his race or genes he can be a better photographer... there has to be better artists you can become. Not some weekend photographer nobody off the street.
