Lmao
Since when did this become /pol/
I don't get how the movie promotes white genocide, what, do they expect after the screening black people to gather and do witch hunts of whites or something like that?
It is easy to understand why people are mad when you hardly see blacks in Star Wars and before they had no major character roles. The most you see them on screen is for a few minutes and it's easy to forget about them.
