5 Reasons Why Harris-Perry is Wrong About Star Wars

4.) Most Villains in Star Wars are Racial Supremacists

The Galactic Empire, which was the biggest force for evil in the universe, was headed, run, and operated by old white men like Grand Moff Tarkin, General Veers, and of course, Emperor Palpetine. The Empire is actually specific about it’s regulations for joining; that only humans may join the military and advance to any status of significance or power. They used the Clone Wars as justification for their discrimination of those who were different, just as many neoconservatives today use 9/11 and other terrorist attacks to discriminate against those they don’t like.

Why would a franchise that is so openly racist depict the antagonists as bigoted, intolerant, white men? Wouldn’t they depict them as dumb, lazy, greedy minorities if it was a racist show?

Maybe it does, but not with Vader…
