If all the bad guys are white, then I see their point.
We had black “Karate Kid”, black “Annie”, now we’ll have black “Star Wars” (they probably weren’t selling enough toys in the ‘hood, and whites don’t have any more children to buy them anyway). I have no problem with that; I just have no plans on seeing it - the last four Star Wars movies were horrible.
Is that “raciss”?
And all three “black” movies were/will be miserable failures.
I’ve never understood the rage that minorities have against white characters and white stories. For millennia, Europeans have had a talent for creating fairy-tales and stories that are passed on from generation to generation.
Other cultures don’t care or don’t have those talents. So, end result, because they won’t (or more accurately CAN’T) create their own stories, they re-wrap White stories to fit their characters.
I won’t see “Star Wars”, because Hollywood has become nothing but a morbid freak show.
FWIW. Ralph Macchio and Aileen Quinn will always be the Karate Kid and Annie.
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.
It all started with “The Wiz”.
