I watched the original trilogy and I realized that the galaxy is populated with white males. They are everywhere and since so many iconic movies of the past are considered illegal to watch because of the pc police then Star Wars could be considered racist. It can even be considered humanist since there are no aliens with prominent jobs. Name me one black general in the Empire? Episode 7 featured one black stormtrooper with a whole bunch of white british guys commanding them. I will wait for the left to start buning their copies of Star Wars....
So it's a coninsidence that basically the entire cast is white ?
No because in Lucas's original screen play they were all white. He generally picked actors that looked like what he imagined.
And why did he imagine that ??
Shit, Its about space aliens ! They can look like whatever! Why the fuck are the people on a desert planet wh two Suns , blonde haired and Lilly white !? That doesn't even make sense.
It could be because there are plenty of white people in the world and a show about the future could include them but if you are going to say that Lucas is a racist and Star Wars is like KKK wet dream then go ahead. Don't say it at a SW convention or they may kick your ass or something.
It's a little thing called institutional racism. It's not overt or even intentional, but the result is the same .
I fully agree that most people have prejudices that they may not be aware of like why is it that in every sci-fi movie we imagine future humans to be mostly white. It could be that the writeres, produceres, actors, etc, etc, etc are mostly white so they just see that way. What would explain why the Japanese see themselves in the same way. They write all of their sci-fi movies with them being the main people in the future. Maybe they are just playign to their audience since their audience is japanese but don't tell me that is racism because I myself watch a lot of Jap animation sci-fi series and I don't care if they are all japs.
