According to some, racism has again reared its ugly head in regards to Force awakens teaser, and some of the fans and critics voiced their objections to the presence of a black storm-trooper. Boyega was quick to address the criticism through Twitter, essentially telling everyone to just “get used to it”.
While this is definitely not the first (and probably not the last) time that a movie’s cast led to racial back and forth, the question remains whether Boyega’s critics can indeed be considered racist, or they’re just recruits and clone its armies from several different sources, thus racially diversifying them in the process.
The bottom line: Boyega’s presence as a storm trooper does not in any way alter the storyline, and if he was indeed deemed to be the best actor for the job, then there is absolutely no point in splitting hairs about why he’s one of the boys in white who never seem to be able to hit anything with their lasers.
