Anti-white porn

Ana de Armas is white. Speaking with an accent does not magically turn you into a brown person. Go back to school!

Its posts like this why I pass..

You do know that people of all races come in good and bad and anything in between, right? There's some good white people and some bad white people and some good hispanic people and some bad hispanic people. Think about the number of movies that are about morally perfect white protagonists, and you are offended that one movie now tells the story of one good hispanic protagonist?

That's racist.

TLDR: OP is just racist and whiny.

Can we pin this to the top to save everyone time?

But everyone in the film, including Marta, is white.

That said, I actually agree with the gist of what you're saying. It's not that I disagree with Johnson's politics. It's how heavy-handed his approach is.

Unlike you, I *don't* think he's a talented filmmaker, because if he was, he'd be able to stay true to his politics without taking such a preachy, ploddingly obvious approach. A more gifted (i.e. subtle and nuanced) filmmaker wouldn't have given token 'liberal' Meg a redemption arc. They'd have excoriated the 'left' as much as they do the right.

A more talented filmmaker wouldn't have made Laura Dern's Holdo (in the Last Jedi) such a dull and sternly humorous figure we're supposed to root for, but would have either given her some personality or revealed her to be a villain, and thus a sanctimonious hypocrite, but Johnson, being the overrated mediocrity that he is, who lets his politics rather than any *actual* talent or originality, do the talking, is bereft of the type of wit and self-awareness that would permit him to present his characters as anything but simplistic and one-dimensional avatars for his binary political view of the world. Remember, the villains were all white men in the original SW films too, but the difference was that the heroes weren't presented as political avatars for the director's heavyhanded political preaching.

Also, it's rather ironic that one of the least sympathetic characters in the film, Jamie Lee Curtis' pompous, faux-self-made businesswoman, who arguably ends up with the worst hand of all (i.e. a son in prison, and a husband who's revealed to be cheating on her) and one we the audience are invited to misanthropically celebrate, is played by the cast's only *actual* minority actor (i.e. a Jewish woman). By contrast, Ana de Armas is of white Iberian ancestry. She's no more 'oppressed' than I am, as the child of a white Iberian immigrant.

I don't know squat, or care about, Rian Johnson's politics. I just watch movies for enjoyment. I was surprised at the unnecessary political argument.

But this article claims he has Conservative tendencies. So which is it?
