Some of the points that person made don't even make sense.
As previously mentioned, Tia Dalma can be viewed as beautiful. And the fact that she was "appeased by an 'undead' monkey" isn't racist. First of all, what's wrong with undead monkeys? And secondly, given its unusual abilities, for all we know, maybe to Tia Dalma, it would have been useful in a spell or something was not a mere "trinket."
As for Davey Jones's crew appearing grotesque so that they represent the "'others,'" if this person had not been so dead-set against seeing AWE, they would know the REAL reason behind their appearances.
And finally, it's not even only Jones's crew that gets rough treatment. Wasn't one of the main heroes, Will Turner, whipped while on board the Flying Dutchman? Are fair-skinned people going to protest Disney saying "You showed a white man being whipped! That's racist!" Of course not!

No... Just because an African tribe thinks Jack Sparrow is a god, doesn't make the film makers racists.
There were plenty of black people on the Pearl. Do you think calling it the "Black" Pearl is racist?
They all went to Tia Dalma (black woman) for help.
It's a Disney movie. There's no racism there.
