(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."

I know. I’m not replying to you specifically. I’ve seen this point raised by others over the last two or three days. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
OK :)
We really do have wise black men and wise black women who have good ideas to solve problems. They’re conservatives, and the liberals hate them and say racist things about them.
True on all points; maybe they just realized that the overt racial scab-picking (like “12 Years a Slave” and “The Help”) were becoming tiresome even to black moviegoers...
My family has seen none of the remakes that are directed towards black audiences; let them pay to see them. I don’t need to spend my hard-earned money fomenting hate.
The wishful thinking/social engineering in Hollywood’s bizarro world doesn’t bother me either; seeing any of these movies would be like seeing a foreign film (and with few exceptions, I don’t watch foreign films).
They see a niche where they can rake in some dough - go for it!
Very funny! I forgot all about “The Wiz”; was that basically a remade Wizard of Oz?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’ve heard some jokes along those lines, about blacks in both “The Flintstones” and “The Jetsons”...
