People Are Threatening To #BoycottStarWarsVII Because Of Black Actor

USA Filme 1977

There are a bunch of people on Twitter who are up in arms about a Black character being in the highly anticipated upcoming flick, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Earlier today, the poster for the seventh Star Wars movie was revealed and the inclusion of a non-White actor – John Boyega – has people on Twitter claiming the movie promotes “white genocide.” The cover makes it pretty clear that the movie’s main characters are Harrison Ford, who plays Han Solo, and Carrie Fisher, who plays Princess Leia, but the nerds fought back anyway.

Searching the hashtag #BoycottStarWarsVII leads to hilarity, weirdness, and tons of racial comments.

Here are some of the best tweets we found:

I have no problem whatsoever with casting non-whites, but if the REASON they are cast is admitted tokenism, that’s a problem.

A friend in LA said #StarWarsVII is basically “Deray in Space”. Jewish activist JJ Abrams is an anti-white nut. #BoycottStarWarsVII

#BoycottStarWarsVII If white people aren’t wanted in Star Wars, then our money must not be either.

SJWs complain about White artists “misappropriating” culture created by blacks but then celebrate a non-White Star Wars. #BoycottStarWarsVII
