Does it have to be racist? Societies progress in different directions, and when they collide it magnifies this. In the trope where white guys come is with bigger fire power, usually the natives win in the end based on spiritual superiority. Not a bad message really. And in fantasy, the 'races' are arbitrary. In avatar, if the corporation was all black people and the aliens looked very white, would it change the story?
