    If she had said, "The villains are too white. Could you make them darker?" I imagine he would have noticed that too, and yes, it would be equally racist.

Oooorrrr.... they simply have a problem with the art itself, and expect the shades to be darker/lighter depending on context. It's not necessarily a racial thing.

Alternatively, they might see it as not a big issue and have the "must edit something" urge that many bosses/editors get.
