Are you suggesting that the issue of race might have determined the choice of the moral fabric of the character assigned to some black actor???

I thought the series came to that point long time ago where the moral dichotomy between good- bad/evil proved to be just a reflection of partial information or knowledge of the one who judges. It might be some everyday habit with practical value (!) to label things and people as such, but it just doesn't work like that with the narrative of Lost. As much as I don't like Michael or Juliette or Whitmore etc., none of these or other characters are easy to categorize on moral terms.
