Hollywood is so racist

[GIF REACTION]

It's not even funny

Indians literally are the most racially vilified on the planet

They have the darkness of blacks

But none of the positive stereotypes (athleticism/dick size)

And everyone thinks it is a joke saying shit like taxi driver/kebab store

No one seems to give a ****ing damn about these racially vilified Indians!

...

Or maybe they don't act as victims? I don't know, haha!

[~primetime~]

I have to say, it always has bothered me that the different human races exist in movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc

It would likely be one blended race...otherwise suggests that at least mild segregation has lasted millions of years which is silly for a species that has conquered DNA/the stars

[ThePhantomCreep]

I hate to say this but, coming to a Star Wars screening near you:

In star wars there isn't earth it's a long long time ago in a galaxy far away. Some planets could evolve darker skin to fit that planet some lighter. I'm pretty sure in the old eu they had this in some books.

Fr star trek though yeah. They predict in the future we will all be grey

Star Wars isn't the future.

[TheMan]

I liked Star Wars trilogy as a kid. I never got into the newer movies, got a few questions...

Are the Star Wars characters like Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Princess Lea and Han Solo supossed to be humans? If not, how did black people like Lando Calrissian make their way to outer space? Is there an Africa in another galaxy/universe?

I never said it was in the future, why would that matter?...they are an advanced species that has conquered space...they are the equivalent of humans on Earth in the year 50,000 AD...obviously their different races would have blended in that much time.

Overthinking this, you are.

Besides, humanoids in a galaxy far far away would still have to adapt to the planets they live in--Hoth, Tatooine, Endor, etc have vastly different eco-systems. It wouldn't make sense for them to all look the same, spaceships and lazor beams notwithstanding.

One of the most popular stereotypes of indians is that they are smart as sh*t...many of them become doctors and do well...sounds pretty positive to me

[JohnnySic]

I just find it funny how when they change a white character, its always to black. They dont make him Oriental or Indian or Samoan or anything. Why is that? Why not a Sri Lankan or Inuit Luke Skywalker? :confusedshrug:

Okay, so we can say they blended races, conquered space, then evolved back into different races due to living on different planets with different ecosystems. I could buy that, but in Star Wars all the different humanoid races, as well as alien races, are well scattered throughout the galaxy and not just fixated on a certain planets.

I will likely enjoy this movie and have no problem looking past this but having blacks, whites, asians, etc is something you have to look past.

I think Finn (John Boyega) is related to Mace Windu, or Lando Calrissian.

[~primetime~]

You're acting as if near-lightspeed travel isn't possible for people in this universe. Everybody could be everywhere.

Humanlike beings didn't all have to come from Earth either.

It's fantasy.
Everyone being everywhere is my part of my point as to why the races would be blended.

And none of them are supposed to be from Earth, do you just mean they all could have originated from different planets and not just one planet? Yeah I suppose that could explain it.



let us b reality though...Lucas just threw blacks and whites together in the originals and didn't give this any thought lol

[Lebron23]

What are people talking about? Luke Skywalker is still white

Actually when they change a character 9/10 it's an Asian character/whole film being white-washed. You can go all the way back to the 50s to see the Seven Samurai being turned into the Magnificent Seven to the present day where Infernal Affairs became the Departed and they made a White version of 'Oldboy'.

Mace Windo was one of the most powerful Jedi's of all time while Lando was a very popular character in the Original Star Wars Trilogy.

[~primetime~]

Well they don't have to be blended. If 1000 people (80% white) were on a ship, went to the other side of the galaxy and set up a base, they're not going to be future blended people in 100 years.

Since humans can only f*ck humans and reproduce, there must be planets of other human-ish types. Otherwise humans would be so spread out it would be hard to find anyone to reproduce with.

I'm just bullshitting, but I have to assume there's at least a few Earthlike planets that had human approximations before Earth descendents got to space. We also have no timeline, so maybe there were still distinct races on Earth?

:oldlol: Lucas just cast Billy Dee and Jackson to get black people to come see the movies, and probably because someone told him the first was too white. He has nothing to do with the new ones though. It's all Disney trying to be inclusive (not that it matters, or that I care).
yeah

Star Trek is a much bigger offender of this stuff...people having Irish accents and shit :facepalm

[DonDadda59]

This is some 'But I have Black friends' bullshit. :durantunimpressed:

And everyone knows Jedi weren't allowed to get their tips wet. Vader was on some rebel shit before it was cool.


Isn't the other main character related to luke skywalker though? It's not too far fetched to assume Finn is related to one of the other nigras.

I guess it makes sense. 6 movies and they made it seem like there were only 2 Black dudes in the whole Universe.

[9erempiree]

Isn't it racist to put a black guy as the main character of Star Wars just because he's black? Didn't know there was affirmative action in Hollywood.

Anyways, I don't think people are mad that he's black but they are mad because the Star War franchise rebooted and re-branded themselves.

It's basically another Michael Jai White action movie that is labelled Star Wars.

Kind of like when the Rock was in Fast and the Furious and it was nothing like the original but a reboot.

[9erempiree]

I have to retract on some previous statements....I am not a big Star Wars fan but it seems like the Black dude in the movie is the main character but his character isn't Luke Skywalker.

I don't see what the problem is then.

I only had a problem with studios changing the race/ethnicity of a well known character.

[Monta Ellis MVP]

Luke Skywalker used the force to turn himself white.
