Kelly Marie Tran says "I was persecuted" by racist "Star Wars" fans.
“It’s interesting how it seems to be happening pretty consistently to actors of color who find themselves in these spaces. And I think these occurrences are a microcosm for the social climate that we’re living in. And it’s really unfortunate... We live in a world where those identities have been weaponized so that people are not able to see the bigger picture. I really just want people to recognize, it’s the system that’s the problem. Stop scapegoating people of color or queer people or anyone who’s different.”

When you can’t find a reason for failure, pull out the card.

Queer needs attention again.

Or you are just a shitty actress and the character you played was completely unnecessary and poorly written.

Did people scapegoat the Lando character in Star Wars?
Maybe the character just sucked rose
I would have liked to see Finn get better treatment than he did but he got stuck with her dumb arse character

the thing is I never blamed her. I blamed the writers for such a terrible character. I always figured she did the best she could with what she was given. frick her then

how brave of her to finally shine the spotlight on this, especially to a Hollywood MSM that is so conservative and hostile to anything left of center....
People will overlook a LOT of woke BS if you tell a good story. Fallout was basically some weird humiliation ritual for conservative white men...but you didnt see much hate because it was an entertaining show. Her movies were straight up dogshit

This movie came out 6 years ago. Who gives a shite anymore?

If there are any racists trolling her, they're all in China because they do not accept mixed-race relations over there.

Always racism. Never the quality of the product.

Asian isn't a color.

People of color?
I got more color than she got.

Probably the person at variety doing the interview that wanted a quote for their article.

They always blame some nebulous form of racism instead of, you know, the movie sucks and they're a shitty actor.

Ahh, the last gasp of a dying career.

The worst part is that these folks are largely being used as shields against criticism.
Don't like shitty black Captain America? Racism
Don't like shitty woman Dr. Who? Misogyny
Hell, it's the whole reason for diversity casting. And, frankly, most folks wouldn't bat an eye at an irrelevant race/gender swap if the resulting product was good.
But, now we're conditioned to this sort of thing as a substitute for quality. Even worse, it is usually a harbinger of quite a bit of preachiness to boot.

Kinda funny cuz the article is about her movie coming out this friday and the 4 movies she has done in the past year. The star wars stuff seems tacked on by the interviewer to generate clicks

Another thing I find amusing is that Disney removed the black dude from marketing posters in Asia for...reasons. But, no, go ahead and blame fans while your employer undermines a black male character solely to protect the money.
