It is funny to think that they’re acting like Star Wars didn’t have black people when Star Wars has had some of the most iconic and well written black characters and Darth Vader was voiced by a black man and is a character that’s as black as a crayon.
But this is the trend ever since the obsession with diversity/representation started. Act like nobody but white males where in movies/tv shows until 2016.
They do that with everything too, trying to act like some chick in a political position is the first black person to do X or Y, then you look back and she wasn’t at all the first black.
I don’t know how this chick was directed but her performance wasn’t good. She looks like someone won a contest to appear as an extra and it went too far. I don’t like the Leia chick, either, but I don’t think she’s necessarily a bad actress. I just don’t like what they did with the character and they made her insufferable. With the black chick, she’s just bad. The idea of the character is fine. Some Sith lady that’s seemingly super evil that obviously will change sides. Or just be evil. Then this black chick fucked it all up.
If a white man voiced a black man in a CurrentYear cartoon, there would be an outcry that his whiteness is infecting and taking over the black man's body, consuming it entirely and making him effectively white. That logic can therefore be applied here as well, but with black man voicing white man. Jones' work overrides and consumes the portrayal.

Well, technically he's all pasty under the mask.
That’s Anakin though. The Darth Vader character everyone knows and is 99% of his screen time and appearances is Jame’s voice.
For sure, he's James' voice and the other guy's body. I don't know if that makes him "black." Like, I doubt the SJWs think he is.
