You can tell how bad it is when we see one black person in a bit of media and go 'woke as fuck' immediately.

This isn't an attack on this forum, I'm saying how much DEI and other such pushes have made the causal audience VERY jaded to race in media.

Hell, it's even been talked about by the critics. 15, 20 years ago, black main characters in things (where appropriate) would've been normal, unremarkable. Now because of the damn cult, the very sight of one is an instant red flag. How do you make that go away, even after the hypothetical purge of wokism?

It also doesn't help that when you cast decent black actors they misuse them in terrible writing.

Biggest example was Force Awakens, EVERYONE was looking forward to Boyega being a Stormtrooper turned into a Jedi story only for him to be badly cut down in that film for Ray to 'shine' then be a walking one for the next two films.

Eh, no. Boyega is just as woke as the rest of them.

Quoting myself from a year or so ago

Problem is Finn also suffers from an insufferable woke actor. Boyega not only played the race card multiple times throughout the Disney Trilogy, including shouting down someone who tried to make a comparable statement, but he also proved he has zero fucking clue about other projects when he's working on them. His role in Pacific Rim 2 also included helping with the writing and yet he specifically called for the PR2 main Jaeger to have swords on both arms because [paraphrasing] "in a sequel you should have more". Gypsy Danger already had swords in both arms. You see it deploy both in the last fight because one of them gets immediately torn off with most of the arm by one of the Kaiju. The same Kaiju that is then bifurcated by the other sword arm moments later.

Guy had zero awareness.
