This is around 17 or so minutes into the movie, and made me question if I want to watch it. Am I being too sensitive or too much of a puritan? I don't want to be, so maybe I just need to relax a bit on this.

The first Matrix movie was fine, casting-wise. It was also from a different era. The second and third ones were "diversity" bullshit on speed. Pretty sure the wachowski brothers decided they had "arrived" at that point and could propagandize to their degenerate hearts' content. They were correct.
I still remember sitting in the theater watching Reloaded on opening night. Like most people, I was psyched as hell. By the time the movie had gotten around to depicting Zion, the "last human city" in a technologically advanced future, as an African drum tribe of mostly brown people grinding on each other, I was done.
These days, I view the Matrix sequels as non-canon.
I remember watching this and being immediately taken out of the movie. Morpheus has literally just warned the crowd of that the machines are coming, but then it's like "nah, it'll be fine, let's have a rave." Imagine that towards the end of the original Star Wars movie when the death star was approaching the rebel base, that the rebels decided to have a dance party instead of preparing for the attack. Makes about as much sense.
I expected Zion to be full of nerds and hackers. Instead it was full of hedonists and hippies.
