Just when boycotts couldn’t get any more stupid: Star War VII

Seriously?

When the first “Star Wars” film came out in 1977, it was criticized for the overall whiteness of it. The one major black actor, James Earl Jones, wasn’t even given voice credit (his choice). This was answered with the introduction of Lando in the very next film, but still, mostly white.

So now the new film prominently features a black hero and there are actually idiots who are declaring it should be boycotted because of that? I mean, I knew there are people for whom Obama can do no right because of his skin color, but this is quite simply insane.

Thank God that there’s zero evidence the boycott will have any impact. Any film that crashes the internet when tickets go on sale, as happened last night, needn’t worry. Still, every time you find yourself wondering how stupid people are, they always seem willing to answer with more evidence.
