I really can't wrap my head around being such a petty, insecure gently caress that seeing a black person in a movie is enough to reduce someone into histrionics. Does anyone remember when Twitter completely dissolved because Rue in the Hunger Games was cast as a black person? That one always got to me because how could you have read the books and possibly missed the fact that she was, canonically, a black person?

Complaints over a Black storm trooper seem odd because weren't the first ones cloned from an Arabic or Persian guy? Luke and Han are the only White people we've ever seen wear the helmet. If you watched only episodes 4-7, you might think all storm troopers were Black.

I remember seeing the tweets contrasted against actual descriptions in the book making it completely obvious she was black.

Some folks just can't allow the actual book to get in the way of their cherished stereotypes.

Maori.

And it's not like there weren't ever black people in Star Wars before. Did these people somehow completely miss Billy Dee Williams in the original trilogy completely? Did they forget James Earl Jones did Vader's iconic voice? I can forgive them for wiping the prequels from their memory but Samuel L. Jackson was in 1, 2, and 3.

John Boyega seems really nice. Everything I've seen about him, he just seems so genuinely, infectiously excited and happy. I know these people don't care about any of that, or about the movies or literally anything, but it's frustrating.

The New Order steered away from using clones for Storm Troopers, and started raising them from birth instead. It's a minor plot point that explains why it's possible that Finn would defect.

Cinna's race is never described in the books. It's only mentioned that he has dark hair and likes gold eyeliner, so the fact that they chose Lenny Kravitz was purely a creative liberty from the filmmakers perspective.

Cinna's race wasn't explicit, but it was clear that basically most people were not white, including Katniss.

IIRC the fifth or sixth book also blatently describes him as being a black dude. A huge part of it was that before hand he's only mentioned by name so of course all the weird fanfic writers decided he was actually a little blonde white girl who they could write loving the other characters. But nope he's an rear end in a top hat like every other evil character in the series, also a dude and black therefore JK Rowling is actually wrong because something something headcanon.

I think this is a parody of a thing I saw on Facebook where people were sharing that Halloween was on Friday the 13th this year, and another thing I saw where there were five Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays in I think November (there weren't this year) that this is an ancient Chinese superstition (it isn't) and that it happens once every eight hundred years (it is more like once every seven years, except when leap years fall in such a way to skip this from happening - for the record, it happens when the first day of the month is a Saturday).

There are a lot of people posting dumb calendar myths so I wouldn't be surprised if people are doing it ironically at this point. At least, that's what I keep telling myself in defense of my friends.

You know what's really funny (not in a 'haha' way) was that Lavender Brown - much bigger character than Blaise - was a black girl for the first three or four movies and then when she started being plot relevant, suddenly she was a white girl. I don't remember hearing a peep about that lovely move.

Not to downplay the importance of Islamic science in the medieval era (which was indeed insanely important and heavily underrated by racists), but it's a little silly to credit them with saving ancient knowledge when they're the ones that destroyed Sassanid Persia and any hope of a restored Rome.

Those of you who have over the years or decades either observed or participated in the resistance to the murder of the White race know that provocateurs have attacked the racial purity of professed leaders to impugn their motives. In my opinion part of the reason this has successfully worked for the enemy is a mind set grown from an alien religion. A basic tenet of Judeo-Christianity and part of its fatal allure is that it allows inferior men to claim superior status without corresponding effort. A Judeo-Christian with an IQ of 90 and a dismal life history can get baptized, repeat a few ritualistic words and presto, suddenly proclaim divine status superior to that of a man a million times his superior in intellect and character. The "blue-eyed blond" syndrome is typical of this mentality. And I say this advisedly since I appear Nordic, tall, slender, blue-eyed blond. Yet I can only guess at the purity of my ancestry. My father of record sold my mother to his buddies and to strangers for booze money, so the Gods alone know all. What I do know is this. I look White. I fight for White. I recognize the achievements of the White race. I want to preserve our kind. I am horrified that the beauty of the White Aryan woman may soon perish from the earth forever. I suffer for each White child tormented in America's inter-racial nightmare. I see beauty in a Celtic princess with brown or red hair and green eyes. I see beauty in the statuesque Nordic Goddess with blue eyes and golden hair. I see beauty in the freckle-faced Irish lass. I see heroism in Robert Jay Mathews and Richard Scutari with their dark hair and eyes of green or brown as well as in Frank DeSilva, a fair skinned Bruders with a French Portuguese name. Theirs is far greater nobility than 99% of those "Nordic Ideals," I might add.

For those who boast of their "purity," you have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents and so on. Go back 500 years or so and you have a million ancestors. A few more generations and everyone who ever trod the lands of Europe is your ancestor, including Huns, Mongols and Moors. There are no 100% pure Aryans as per 10,000 years ago. But we still do exist as a distinct and unique biological entity. The cultures and civilizations we create are beyond comparison. The beauty of our women, blondes, brunettes, redheads, green-eyed, blue-eyed, brown-eyed, is the desire of all men and the envy of all women. So, we do not want to be derailed by gossip or speculation on who may be 1/16th Indian or have some Italian, Spanish or Portuguese blood. We do not wish to be bamboozled over whether Islam, which did not exist until the 7th century, somehow managed to destroy the Greco-Roman Empire centuries earlier through elaborate means of time-travel. We are not going to debate over whether the collective remaining White gene pool is 95% or 97% pure Aryan.

Surely it would be a tragedy if the various divisions of our race lose their distinctive traits and beauty. And after we have secured the existence of our people and a future for ALL our children, hopefully we can take steps to preserve this diversity. But for now, we are going to accept the facts and circumstances as they exist. We are going to work together for the holy cause and we will not tolerate provocateurs, divisions or dissension. If someone looks White, acts White, fights White, then until their actions prove otherwise, they are our Folk. On the other hand, regardless of pedigree or appearance, those who oppose, criticize, hinder or fail to support our cause are no friends of ours.

I really never got why those people are so afraid of colored people. As a white guy I can't say anyone ever stole my job or my woman or my heritage. And I mean it's not like our society has become biased in favor to POCs, on the contrary we haven't even reached equality yet. I'm working in academia and boy are POCs underrepresented at work.

I guess I'm just fascinated by how those people think the POCs are stealing their jobs and women while at the same time being lazy and dumb and terrible at everything. As a poster in the freep thread put it : "by furious goal post shifting the enemy is both pathetic and terrifying."

Stormtroopers were always portrayed as conscripts and recruits in the EU, and coming out of the second prequel, I just assumed that they'd stop making clones at the end of the Clone Wars, and I was surprised years later to find out that people were so confused about this.

Plus, I'm thinking if George Lucas would have redubbed the stormtroopers with Temeura Morrison in the special edition DVDs like he did with Boba Fett if he'd intended them to be clones.
