You're right, it isn't important, but I think it's a big plus. There's probably nothing 'random' when you put together a film/budget. I think disconnections has a good point with the balance of castingalthough there's still been a tremendous amount of ridiculous and hostile responses of one sort and another regarding the racial mix of the cast. I don't watch LOST but I would think that casting Naveen Andrews who is popular from the series (as well as THE ENGLISH PATIENT, etc) was a good artistic and marketing approach.

Gimme a break.
People are only allowed to hook up with other people of their same ancestry? Where is that a rule?
Usually people connect with whoever is around them. New York has people from all over the planet, so not a huge stretch to have a mixed ethnicity couple. It may be weird in Norway but not New York.
People of African ancestry have been in New York since it was a Dutch colony. Why is it strange to have a brown skinned detective? It may have been weird back in 1930 when there was more discrimination in hiring, but not in the 2000s.
To sum up. No, it doesn't seem weird to have Erica be involved with David. Or for Detective Mercer to be who he is.
No two persons ever watch the same movie. -

I'm choosing to ignore the "hater" posting before mine
Anyway, Naveen Andrews is Indian (I think), but I see Indian and Middle Eastern doctors all the time. They are quite common in the medical field in the US. Maybe that's another reason they cast him?
Plus he's super gorgeousjust a side note.

[Good move to ignore that one. Anyone who uses a backward, anachronistic term like 'black buck' is either an elderly bigot who longs for the 'good old days' and bad romance paperbacks set on plantations or an updated but reactionary
spoiling for a fight.]
Yeah, he
is
very attractive and and a beautiful shade at no extra charge. David Kirmani's Mom could probably look forward to some gorgeous mixed race grandchildren had that been in the cards. -

.everything has to be "multicultural" which to be honest
makes me sick.
You found this story comedic somehow? Sorry to hear about your illness but don't despairthere's an outside chance you will outgrow you backward attitude. Very sad. -

Yeah right. There are lots of scenarios you don't mention though; like black vs. hispanic and such. The Cambodian actor from The Killing Fields was killed by a black guy, but do I think that all blacks are criminals? Nope. Timothy McVeigh was a white dude should I think that all whites are terrorists?
Truth is that crime strikes anyone. Minorities aren't specifically targeting "all those white people", just people. Period.
