The backlash was that Finn had the most potential to be an interesting character and the writers did nothing with him.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because it's the right thing to do."
"........ You need a pilot."
"I need a pilot."
Having Finn be the main character, a force sensitive stormtrooper who's led to the light side and becomes a Jedi studying with Luke, but is also kind of an easy-to-read dope who doesn't know anything but his indoctrination, that's a way more interesting arc than the one we got.
Even completely disregarding any possibility of Force sensitivity, the potential of a "conscience puts him in a position where he essentially goes to war against the people he was raised with" character development could have been goddamn deep.
Instead we get [blows up everyone around him without hesitation] "DiDjU sEe ThAt?!?! DiDjU sEe ThAt?!?!?"
There is a reason that TRAITOR!!! is the closest thing Sequel Trilogy has to something that absolutely no one dislikes.
Its not even just a conscience. Homie had a panic attack at the sight of blood and combat, something he was likely seeing for the first time. Something strong enough to make him betray and abandon everything he knew and was raised with to escape.
And the rest of the movies just forget that and he is totes okay with violence and killing, as long as its the faceless bad guys (that he totally wasn't one of and should know are humans too) and his only reservations is being weaker than everyone else.
Fun fact. Poe was supposed to die in the first movie. Abrams changed it after casting the actor who played Poe because he liked his performance so much.
He should have stayed dead. It made no sense for him to be miraculously alive, and back with the good guys after disappearing without a trace after the crash.
You know what, I agree. To remedy the situation, Boyega and all other black actors, should go to sub Saharan Africa and star in the myriad TV shows and movies they're making, to be with their own people, and not have to play second fiddle to, or be surrounded by evil Whitey.
“racist backlash” should be in air quotes too - the vast, vast majority of people were saying things like “wow the writers sure wasted that character’s potential” or “wow I was sure he was going to become a Jedi wtf happened” or “wow that subplot with him and the asian girl sure was pointless”…
“Niggers can’t be stormtroopers” was like….0.000000001% of the discussion, and those were probably the Chinese as we’d go on to learn
As soon as I saw he hated me and wanted me dead I strangely lost any interest in anything he's in. I'm sure I'm not the only person that felt this way.
Which character did he play? I looked at the Chinese posters for the movies, and I don't see him. I won't check the American ones, because they're raysis.
Is he trying to whitewash the various actors and actresses who are documented as not white? Because he's probably retarded enough to sincerely try that.
If Star Wars really did suffer more from racism and misogyny, we wouldn't have whiners such as this doing his frequent salt routine in order to boost his Hollywoke DEI career, and instead we would have an actually decent Sequel series.
Dood still doesn't get it.

Finn's a remorseless, self-centered, and cowardly psychopath. It's the only way his character could ever make sense.
The characters of Fin and Poe were both humiliated by feminists. The “racist backlash” to Fin was almost entirely in China.

"Good looking hotshot space pilot" seems like it should have been impossible to fuck up as an archetype in a Star Wars movie but they did it.
He should have stayed dead. It made no sense for him to be miraculously alive, and back with the good guys after disappearing without a trace after the crash.
They explained it in the book. Not well, but it was explained. You can tell it was added in way after.
This guy really bought the 2020 summer of love BLM Kool-aid.
Most niggers have. White guys like me drank the Trump 2024 sewage.
Here we all are, "winning" together, just like they planned for us.
Man. Lando Calrissian and Mace Windu just exist in some kinda quantum superposition to these people
He touched on that. He's tired of black people being the chocolate chips in the cookie dough, scattered around in pieces.

I agree go to the chocolate cookie factory. He can go total Oreo where the black cookies surround and squish that white cream
It's never enough for these people, SW could be Wakanda in Space and it'll never be enough
Das raysis
Cry more to China, you dumb fuck. They're the ones who you were resized for on the posters.

And God forbid Whites have anything without a bunch of minorities shoved into as many places as possible

Think about that.
‘The Force is Female’ is the reason he was put in the back seat.
Ok.......he in the same movies we saw...or at least two I noped out after Last Jedi.
Didn't he die?
Oh that was black panther man
"Wakanda Foreve-... nevermind."
