Perrineau, who admitted that his brief return to the show was "a waste", told TV Guide he was angry over the representation of his character and son Walt.
He said: "Listen, if I'm being really candid, there are all these questions about how they respond to black people on the show.
"Sayid gets to meet Nadia again, and Desmond and Penny hook up again, but a little black boy and his father hooking up, that wasn't interesting?
"Instead, Walt just winds up being another fatherless child. It plays into a really big, weird stereotype and, being a black person myself, that wasn't so interesting."
Responding to the comments, executive producer Carlton Cuse said: "It's painful when any actor's storyline ends on the show. Harold is a fantastic actor whose presence added enormously to Lost."
