Star Wars is White.

Have you ever noticed Star Wars is very white? Except for Lando Calrissian, I don't think there's any people of color. Now with Nazi inspired Stormtroopers, representing of course, the "dark side," we could assume things, but I don't know if we need to. How would African Americans be from galaxies far, far away? Or would there be any Chinese except from...China? You won't find any indigenous Mexicans whose ancestry is from another planet, because...they are from, Mexico! I guess we can't find many normal "minorities" so instead we have aliens. Evolutionary inspired "space people" from other planets. So Star Wars could be called White Wars...White People Strike Back, Return of Whitey. Star Trek blazed the anti just white trail back n the 60's with as many minorities as possible. But not White Wars. Now we can't forget the great voice of James Earl Jones as Darth...but once he's unveiled (did I just say unveiled like when a kkk guy takes off his hoodie..) then Darth is fully white, and he looses his very cool voice. (Of course for the newer series they changed the actor! Who is still white) So what's my point? THAT I NEVER NOTICED! I'm so used to just whites on screen it wasn't weird to me. Strange. I grew up in a black neighborhood, and was one of the only white people, so color has never meant anything different to me other than I thought all races were seriously cool, and that God is amazing in His creative ability! (I wanted to be a Native American when I was a kid because I thought they looked the coolest!) So back to titles, White Wars, The Whites Awaken, The Last White Person...
