Well I would venture a guess and say there's no reason for you to feel shame as I doubt you are a doctor in the first place. Pro-tip: using phrasing like: "I did the internship or whatever" is kind of a tip off that's you're not a medical genius. 

So when it is OK for a non-white person to be in Star Wars in your opinion? Only as a secondary character? And we can't have more than one of them too, right? People of minority are only allowed to be in films about their specific culture? Why is that? Because they should know their place?

Did it ever occur to you that a growing number of the audience for these films aren't white people? You understand that China is a large driver for the box office right? You understand that Latinos are the making up more and more of domestic box office right? 

Knowing about the US system of training doctors isn't obligatory here in Sweden. I can't help that I don't know what "AT-tjänstgöring" is called in the US. I have vaguely heard about a term called "intern" or "internship" so I assumed that was it (from foreign med students who were visiting us in the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm).

You are manipulative. Why do you ask it like that, "when is it OK for a non-white person to be in SW"? As if I am against minorities in a cast. That's manipulation and unecessary rethorics. Not cool.

Im protesting against the fact that the cast is chosen due to a deliberate agenda, evident from the fact that the whole lead cast is non-white male. Only the bad guys are white male.

Nobody can be so stupid that they don't see this trend in Hollywood.

If the cast was chosen to reflect the composition of the increasing Chinese market or the global movie audience, that would have been a different discussion. I still wouldn't like it, but that's not the main driver here, I assure you.

You are one who brought it up, lol, if you don't like the question then maybe you are the one that needs to ask himself why you are bringing this up. It's a fair question to ask on the basis of your posts and posting history. 

Clearly you believe one race is better than others and should have a status quo on that basis because of the past. Sorry if someone calling you out on that offends you so. 

The "main" protagonist in every Star Wars film are white .... Anakin, Luke, Rey, even in this film Jyn Erso, but that's not enough for you I guess. Is that an agenda? Why is it only an agenda when it concerns people of different ethnicities?
