I finished med school almost 15 years ago and got my license 13 years ago (after the internship or whatever it's called). So in january 2017 I've worked exactly 15 years as a paid doctor.

Your question is uncalled for. Of course I don't view everything in the prism of race. But the new Star Wars movie and its statement connects to the topic of race, so it's perfectly valid to discuss in this thread. And you must realize that how active we as forum members are in certain topics don't necessarily represent the fullness of our characters.

Just like you I'm bothered by things going on in society and interested in political topics.

Given your post my question is not uncalled for. 

So you're a guy professing to be a doctor who is in his late 30s/40s posting on a video game forum?

How is a Star Wars movie, films that have blue skinned and orange skinned aliens, a paragon of race that you felt it badly needed to be brought up? 

Every time I go to these forums I instinctively feel a bit ashamed and ask myself if I as a doctor really should post on a forum about video games. But this is what I am. I love video games and I've come to know this forum very well and it's just as good a place to discuss serious topics as any other place.

Don't you listen to what people say? I don't have a problem with minority actors per se, especially not in a sci-fi movie, depicting a future when mankind inevitably has become racially mixed up and become completely multicultural (but if it was a historical movie about vikings, the ancient Nubians or the ancient Chinese I would want it to be racially and culturally genuine and authentic)

But there is no doubt that the cast is chosen because of an agenda. And that's my problem. I don't like being brainwashed or preached to about this topic. I don't like that some interests use media as a tool to change society in a direction I hate (because mass immigration and the destruction of traditional Western culture is part of it). I don't like that some interests are working behind the scenes to activively hold back one race in favor of others.
