Someone accused Disney of being racist last year because they didn't have an Asian character in the movie.

Apparently a movie series that just happens to not have an Asian character in the story = actively prejudicial.

It pisses me off simply for the fact that I absolutely despise it when creative decisions are made for business reasons.

Of course that's exactly how Lando was created way back in 1980. Some things never change.
 
Isn't the point of equality to be able to see the irrelevance in physical characteristics and relate to people even if their skin is a different color than your own? Maybe allowing you to connect or relate to characters that aren't in your demographic? Maybe we should just focus on making quality movies with well developed characters and not even caring which demographics we check off on some PC quota. Some films may have all white hetero men as stars, some none. It really shouldn't be an issue.
Oh m8, preaching to the choir. Undeniable point of course, but the usual response is: "wouldn't it be cool that a black kid could look up to a black Batman?".

So let's prolong lack of empathy with barriers like skin color.

“There are no black people on Game of Thrones.*You don’t see one black person in Lord of the Rings,” Boyega said in a recent interview with GQ. “I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen. Because you see different people from different backgrounds, different cultures, every day. Even if you’re a racist, you have to live with that. We can ruffle up some feathers.”

He talks a big game and acts all sassy in interviews, but as soon as Disney calls he's all like, "Oh yessa massa, please don't hurt me! May I get mah cornbread now massa?"

Sure GOT has white dudes, but why should there be black dudes on it? The world of GOT isn't Earth. Hell, being a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Star Wars shouldn't even have characters that look like humans with our ethnic backgrounds.

And besides, there are black characters on GOT. So maybe Mr Boyega has only watched 5 minutes of GOT.

Star wars is in space right, they be like aliens and whatnot, then why does rey finn speak with an Earth like attitude?
He sounded waaayy too Earthy. This is not even about accent, there can be accents.
But his attitude.... it did kind of take me off the movie
 
We all know these fantasies/fictional movies or series are made by humans, for humans. No one wants to watch non-humanoids aliens kick all or any humanoids' butts. That would be too alienating to watch. True aliens out there probably laughing at us, knowing they can just destroy us all, to extinction, easily.

Avatar did alright.
 
And... at least these are NEW characters, gotta give them credit for that. At least they were decent to create brand new people)

Its not like the deadpool 2 domino drama. ( or thor's valkyrie)
 
What a nutjob. He wanted black hobbits and elves in LOTR? "I'm not paying to see just one type of person on screen." I guess that means no Seven Samurai then.

There should be a casting rule called The Seven Samurai rule, every 8th character should be of a different race so 7 consecutive Japanese are allowed, they're safe.

But just get ready for some black villagers lol
