'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' China poster 'racist'

(CNN)Chinese state media has hit back against claims that the poster for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" used in mainland China deliberately leaves out or downplays characters of color.
Fans complained on Twitter earlier this week that British actor John Boyega, who plays Finn in the movie, had been shrunk on the Chinese poster. Other characters played by non-white characters, including Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron and Lupita Nyong'o's Maz Kanata were missing entirely, as was Chewbacca the Wookiee.
quote:
"Finn (who happens to be black) and Chewbacca (happens to be Wookiee) get shafted in China," tweeted Ray Kwong, a Hong Kong-based columnist and political commentator.
Another tweeter called the poster "profoundly wrong."
A representative for Disney would not comment on the matter.
Others compared the posters to the controversy over an Italian-promotional campaign for "Twelve Years a Slave," which sidelined star Chiwetel Ejiofor in favor of Brad Pitt, who only had a brief role in the movie. Studio Lionsgate later pulled the posters, saying they had not been authorized.

In 100% homogeneous society, they don't know what racism is. Chinese dont't give two shits about political correctness either.

The majority of other countries around the world are extremely racist. Anyone that has ever been to very many places can tell you the same thing.
It's only the cry babies in the US that have major issues with all this PC bullcrap

All of this ^^^^
Racism isn't going away anytime soon. Malcolm x whom all the color folk worship as a civil rights leader was one of the biggest racist to ever exist.

Well to be fair, whites weren't exactly super nice to Malcolm X during that time. When he was a kid, his father was murdered by the KKK for example.

Yeah, white folks conveniently forget all the white racists from slavery to the civil rights era. But Malcolm X and Stphen A Smith are the worst ever.
