What about that Black Stormtrooper? What do you mean "there was no Black Stormtrooper??" He was in that one Star Wars film. Wasn't he??
Idk what you're trying to pull, but knock it off man
It's a joke about how they tried introducing a Black main character but then erased him because dickheads didn't like it. It's not a particularly complicated joke.
Okay, I wasn't sure, in the wrong light it could be taken as some kind of "whataboutism" but you're all good. Didn't mean any offense, just didn't want it to turn into some of the crazy "well actually ice is the good guys" that other people post as ragebait or delusion.
If you think skin color makes a fascist, you're dead wrong.
nother factlet that doesnt see much play is that his direct commander in the stormtroopers was a black woman
