No, he doesn't. That design doesn't fit with the tone of the movie. Urkel lookinass.
It's a movie aimed at nerds that also has a strong Black culture vibe. Urkel was both a nerd and Black. That matches up nicely. I see nothing wrong, here.
Just pointing out that culture has no color.
There's black people all over the world. the world have hundreds of countries. Those countries can have dozens of provinces/counties. Those provinces/counties can have dozens of cities and villages. Those villages can have dozens or hundreds of neighborhood. Those neighborhood can have thousands of families. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE STEPS CAN HAVE THEIR OWN CULTURE AND SUBCULTURE.
Now repeat this for every single "races". And consider that many, so many of these cultures can be shared and mixed, no matter the color of the skin.
When someone associate a culture to a color, it piss me off to no end. Because that's saying "All of those of the color X are the same." That's textbook genuine racism.
The producers saying "celebrating black/hispanic culture" are either clueless about that fact (like too many others) or they may have been coerced into claiming that just so they can earn their ESG money.
Also, Eckel wasn't the only one who had the "Nerd look". He just had the classic Nerd look like so many had before him. But to be honest, I think it's a case of "chicken and egg" here.
