John Boyega has been on a lot of people’s minds ever since the new “Star Wars” trailer dropped. But some of the attention on the “Attack The Block” actor turned “Star Wars:The Force Awakens” stormtrooper has been negative, due to the fact that a few petty, racist troll types on YouTube are unhappy that a black man was donning the aforementioned trooper suit.
To which Boyega had but one thing to say: “Get used to it. :)”
The whole mess started in the comments section for the new teaser, where several folks complained this new iteration of “Star Wars” was pandering to the politically correct-obsessed social justice warrior types — otherwise known as people who, you know, think showcasing the inherent diversity of the human race is a good thing. This bled over into Twitter, where people tweeted angrily about J.J. Abrams’ inclusion of people of color and women in major roles in the film.
