    Chinese media is well known to be racist. They have a history of doing this

    If there is any hesitation for white fans about a lead black actor in Star Wars I think it is more of a dislike of the franchise being used to promote an agenda which I hear JJ Abrams is in a habit of doing in his movies. If however the character is not used in the film as a tool for anti discrimination propaganda and truly fits well into the story i think many whites will breath a sigh of relief.

    Smh… It's a poster people the shrunken black guy isn't the only change in the Chinese version , stop being idiots.

    But you guys didn't even talk about Oscar Iassac or Lupita Nyong'o being completely removed from the Chinese poster. Literally every character of color (besides John Boyega) was removed from the Chinese poster. Now I don't really know how the Chinese view other people of color (Yes i consider Asian's people of color as well) But obviously it's not good if they had to shrink a main black character and remove the other POC just get the Chinese market to come in and see the film. smh POC need to stand together not apart but sadly we've all been broken and separated and taught to hate each other.

    Ya, that's racist. I've lived in East Asia. Minor racism isn't even considered a problem by most people over there.

    December 19, 2023 at 4:55 pm

    Get the fuck out of here

  23. @skeetgoodmac6983

    December 19, 2023 at 4:55 pm

    Yeah, sure. Could be racist. I don't give a shit either way. But I don't think these people in the comments are considering that it was obviously done for a reason, and the reasons given that aren't racially motivated don't make sense.

    Everyone knows about Harrison Ford and chicks generally pull in more people…China does not have a fan base for Star Wars like the one in western countries and racism is mostly toward other Asians so calm the fuck down

  25. @JayWalkZ

    December 19, 2023 at 4:55 pm

    I'm a poster and i find everything about the poster racist.

  26. @theunwantedsuicidalking830

    December 19, 2023 at 4:55 pm

    omg!!! Who tfc!!!! no one is worried about an effing poster in a country that's predominant race is Asian.

    Being a black male and having lived and traveled throughout China, they are not racist nor discriminatory towards black people. They may say or do somethings that may come across as offensive but have to understand they dont know racism is. Way i dealt with it was not taking it to heart and just briefly explain to them that what they say or do can be offensive and just be a more conscious of it next time. Also; they butcher american movie posters. Why they do this idk but it is quite funny.
