Reading about the new Star Wars: Squadrons game and stumbled across this tidbit in reference to The Force Awakens:
" users registered their disbelief at the idea that a Black man could ever serve as a stormtrooper. Despite the noxious racism behind these complaints, they contained an unintentional kernel of truth. "
Their disbelief is racist, but true?
How does that work? Unless the definition of racist has changed. Maybe I am behind the times but I was under the impression that racism had to include "not true" because otherwise it is just facts. Can facts be racist?
Oh and how condescending to assume that the users in question weren't smart enough to actually know what they were trying to say. Unintentional? How does he know?
No links because I won't inflict this garbage on you.

Words, especially that word mean only what the Left wants them to mean, and that can change daily.
I thought the storm troopers were all clones of bounty hunter Jengo Fett. Thus they were 100% perfectly "diverse".

Hard to tell anymore with Disney actively purging any remnant of the old in favor of the new. My recollection, however, was that they were originally all the same template but that there were issues and other clone templates were adopted to increase the gene pool. I haven't been a die hard Star Wars geek in quite a few years however. I read every book in the old series but gave it up when Disney announced the reboot.
