You will have to expalin your purely artistic beef with these castings in order for you to not simply appear to be both racist and misogynist.

At the end of the day, I know who I am. I don't care what someone I don't know labels me as. I know what my issues are with this script and those who are intelligent enough will "get it". Those who aren't can say, think and do what they want until they turn blue in the face. I'll survive lol

So you can't actually explain why it's so wrong to have a black dude and a woman as the central characters. I would like to understand why it is such a massive Star Wars sin. Why is wanting to have a diversity in the cast inherently incompatible with Star Wars canon? How has it ruined the essence of Star Wars? How has it shat on Lucas' original vision for Star Wars? No one has yet put forth a cogent explanation for these things.

I'm no Star Wars fan, so while I watch the movies I am not terribly invested in them especially since most of them are mediocre at best. So I clearly don't know all the intricacies of Star Wars lore. So here's your opportunity to educate me.
