That was well-phrased.

The first “clones” were of a brown Asian looking dude, and the new hero Finn is black.
So we know under the white armor, many of them are not white.

But I will compare social justice warriors to the Borg. You can have a variety of outward configurations and even species, but all must be assimilated to the hive mind.

Yeah, and as a matter of fact, the Empire itself was derived from Vietnam War-era America, and if anything, the “heroes” of the films, the Rebel Alliance, had actually been based on the Vietcong, as George Lucas himself said, multiple times, from during development of A New Hope all the way to Cannes Film Festival 2005’s premiere of Revenge of the Sith, and backed up by Walter Murch. The only thing “Nazi” about them was the uniforms (which were actually derived from German Uhlans, but whatever), and even there, it’s pretty obvious Lucas was meaning it as a synonym for “right-wing” thanks to Stalin’s abuse of vocabulary (like how leftists refer to Donald Trump as a “Fascist” despite having absolutely no similarities at all to that group).
