Star Wars fandom in general is pretty racist, tho', whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

"Stormtroopers can't be black", anyone? Or when Lupita Nyongo was cast in the new movie?

To be fair, at least 10% of the Storm Troopers thing was fans holding on a little too tight to the idea that every storm trooper needs to be clones that look like Temuera Morrison.

I know no one wants to hear the ol' 'Not all ----!' argument right now, but the Star Wars fandom is absolutely freaking enormous, and not entirely comprised of lonely racist white guys. Generalizing a fandom that spans worldwide as racist is really pushing it. ESPECIALLY considering the "racist" backlash over the casting of women and minorities in the new film was revealed to be massive trolling orchestrated by some bored assholes. Some actual racists latched on, but the trending hashtag was a big prank.

But whatever. I'm actually conditioned to be more trusting and sympathetic to non-white non-male characters, but that's just me. Of course.

Yeah, this. And the US isn't the only country where Star Wars is big. I think Japan has the biggest fandom ever, Star Wars is everywhere. The racist backlash comes from a minority of basement dwellers, that's it.

given by the time A New Hope is set, Storm Troopers are conscripted from all over the galaxy. Storm Troopers can't be black is mildly hysterical. All Storm Troopers can't be are ALIENS.

Because.. Imperials are racist that way.

I am now glad I'm not paying too much attention to the hype around this new film.

Lupita Nyongo is in the new movie??? Awesome. She's amazing. :D
