Neal Adams didn't know what he was doing then, because it's made clear later they weren't white.
If you want to tell a story about how white bad guys deliberately exploit fear of foreigners then you don't want the foreigner to turn out to be bad anyways.
Why would it ruin the theme? What they did was present a scary villain and then pull the rug out-and not replace him with an even scarier villain (it doesn't help that you have an academy award winning actor as your red herring).
The real villain was a jokey nerd.
So they lowered the bar instead of raising it which is bad from a dramatic-suspense point of view. But Disney specializes in that sort of thing.
