Racism and hypocrisy in The Last Jedi

Every day, it seems that the same people who learned nothing from their attempts to SJW guilt trip people into watching and liking Ghostbusters, have continued to spout their "you don't like it because of _______-ism" bullshite.
Here's how much Disney really gives a shite about diversity and girl power.
The average westerner is not really, fully aware of this, but the only reason Rose is in the movie is for Asian, specifically Chinese audiences. Audiences that don't like blacks very much, specifically black Americans. This is the market in which Disney - willingly by the way - downsized the image of Finn on the movie poster. The scenes of Rose zapping, manhandling and insulting Finn are designed to get huge laughs from Asian audiences, who will most likely never see any kiss between Rose and Finn. All of Disney's sanctimonious bullshite about "diversity" flies out the window in the face of this. The movie doesn't open in China until Jan. 5 (for "negotiation differences"), so we'll have to wait and see about that last part.
shite, even to American audiences, Finn is nothing more than a shallow, slappy black stereotype.
Similarly, Disney chooses to sell out "girl power" when they think it's financially more advantageous. The entire movie pumps feminism and women in charge right up our asses from beginning to end. However, they still seem to think little enough of girls that they had to cram an irrelevant, teeny-bopper, broke-arse Twilight moment into one of the absurd skypes between Rey and Finn.
In just those few seconds, with that patronizing shot, all of their female empowerment bullshite flew completely out the window. "Women are in charge! Get used to it! Rey is the greatest Jedi evar! Hey, is that a hawt shirtless dude?"
The second point is just kind of funny to me, but Disney needs to be called out for hypocrisy and taken to task on their obvious racist pandering.

There's people in other parts of the world dying of hunger and war.
And over here this is the shite we have to worry about

Why are you hatin' that we get hot, shirtless Kylo Ren when you all had a smokin' hot Leia for years?
GTFO.

I feel sorry for you that you can't watch a movie for what it's true purpose is to be....entertainment. My only comment on your
rant is regarding your feminism statement. You're mad that Leia is in charge of the resistance? Who else in the franchise would you rather be that leader? The trigger happy pilot who was introduced only a movie ago? I'm not even a die hard fan, but my understanding is that one of the biggest aspects of the story revolves around Vader's family lineage. Meaning they (Luke, Leia, Kylo) hold all the stake in the story. Imagine if the roles were switched and instead of Luke being viewed as the Jedi's last hope, Leia was the one everyone was searching for thinking she was their last hope. Oh gosh! The fate of the resistance relying on a female Jedi. WHAT NOW?!
Gimme a break.
Gimme a break.

we get hot, shirtless Kylo Ren
And Leia's situation was meant to highlight the fact that she's been captured and forced to wear that. She was being abused by Jabba. Then she killed him.
This was more like, as I said, some broke-arse Twilight moment. Should I be on team Kylo or team Finn? They're both so dreamy.

Then why did Rose fall in love and kiss Finn?
