I mean, sure it gets used as an excuse a lot but that doesn't change the fact that a black woman was cast in what amounts to almost a perfect example of the "angry black woman" stereotype and some people, black people among them, do find this uncomfortable.

But she's following in the footsteps of the extremely melodramatic Darth Vader, the "angry white guy".

If all Sith users were black, then yeah, I'd certainly see that point but...

[(Anonymous)]

I...I don't think anything she does is "angry black woman" stereotype. not even slightly. are black people only allowed to ever do positive things so they don't get portrayed as having anger over anything?

A minority person doing something positive in media often goes unnoticed outside the minority community, but a minority person in a negative role will confirm every single ugly nasty stereotype the white, non-Irish, and/or cishet community has about the whole minority group. It is an unfair double standard, but it is where we are right now. That is why minority individuals should never take a villain role, because they will become the thing that is used to beat other minority individuals over the head with. It doesn't matter how many positive portrayals there are, or how many white, anglo, cishet villains there are, one bad apple definitely does spoil the whole barrel in the media.

Wow so "minority characters should never be cast as villains, all those roles should go to white cishet men" is really where we're at?

As a WoC myself... no. Please no.
