(CNN)The haters of the Internet have never met a target they couldn't denounce. Even Star Wars."
While much of the world watches and rewatches the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" trailer for clues about the eagerly anticipated movie, a small minority of people have attacked the film's ethnically diverse casting as "anti-white."
"#BoycottStarWarsVII because it is anti-white propaganda promoting #whitegenocide," read a tweet Monday from an account called End Cultural Marxism. The same Twitter user also called J.J. Abrams, the movie's director, a "Jewish activist" and "an anti-white nut."
Another Twitter user called for a boycott of the movie "because it's nothing more than a social justice propaganda piece that alienates it's (sic) core audience of young white males."

The trailer for the new movie does look promising
Don’t forget that Sue Storm’s brother The Human Torch became a black man in the Fantastic Four reboot.
Nick Fury (Sgt.Fury of WWII) became a black man.
A lot of talk about making James Bond black.
Black Honeymooners.
On and on.
The black actor in the new Star Wars doesn’t mess with my mind, they are all new tales. To take half century established characters and change their skin color is historical revisionism.
The actual Annie comic strip was anti-New Deal. When will Hollywood make a TRUE adaptation of Little Orphan Annie with the author’s political commentary in tact?
My good friend who is a mostly republican voting, smart, pro-American,, pro-military, christian, star wars geek man has seen the trailers for this movie and this has passed his seal of approval and that’s all I will say about that.
- he is not PC by any means.
Return was great but I agree about the Ewoks beating the 501st legion, that’s like the Army Rangers losing to a bunch of Elementary kids.
However, it would appear that the pathological need to politicize everything is not just limited to liberalism.
Well, as long as they don’t make Amos and Andy black.
OMG! It’s Fart Fader!
I’m not stressing about this movie. I just posted an article about it.
The Jolly Green Giant’s daughter. I thought she looked delicious enough to eat!
I’ve seen them all, and I will probably see this one too. But I will wait a couple of weeks so I can watch it in a nearly empty theater. That is one thing I love about school. All the kiddies, well most of them, are not in the theaters. I don’t consider myself any kind of Star Trek or Star Wars generation though.
I would subscribe to that theory. If you want to find a racist, check who he voted for.
Agree. Watch the movie first.
It all started with “The Wiz”.
Reminds me of when Richard Pryor talked about how “Logan’s Run”, a movie set in the future, had no black people in it, he said, “White folks ain’t planning for us to be here.”
I rolled my eyes watching the “Save the Whales” Star Trek movie. Insipid.
Amos N Andy were Black on the TV. It was a very good show too.
On the radio you could not tell they were not Black.
Next up: Whoopi Goldbberg as Snow White. And the prince who awakens her with love’s sweet kiss is Rosie O’Donnell.
Is this a matter of the “la times magic black man” article?
Toss in a black male as the “wise person” to magically solve all the problems in any movie.
look for luke to be designated a nutjob who dies ala “redshirt”.
