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. 

Are you just playing with me and teasing or you don't really understand my point? Am I so bad at explaining my views?

I doubt it. I think most readers understand (I especially hope our minority members don't misunderstand).

I have no problem with a multicultural and multisexual cast in Star Wars if it comes naturally. Most talent in Hollywood is still white, and you could decrease that proportion a bit in order to reflect the futuristic vision of humanity in space like it's depicted in Star Wars, and also adjust the cast to the global audience a bit, that's perfectly fine, but if you also use talent as a recruitment basis there's inevitably going to be a bunch of white actors too in lead roles in a big movie like Star Wars. Hollywood is still predominalty white, so let the movies be prominantly white.

I don't like that this movie on purpose excludes white men from the cool roles and only puts white men in evil roles. How can I spell it out for you? How can you think that's right? To make up for past transgressions?!

Mankind will gradually, slowly change and become increasingly multicultural. I don't have a problem with that! But just don't force it. And do not delibareltly hold down white people out of envy, that's what I am against.

There's black groups in the US monitoring the number of minority casting in media and all hell would break lose if this Star Wars was entirely white, I guarantee you.

History is irrelevant to my argument. I'm in the present and looking in the future, and I am worried. Historically, movies have had an extremely high proportion of white actors. I'm not saying I want to turn back the clock and go back to those days. That would be unfair.
