Yeah, it was very good, not sure I would call it "great." BP has some inherent oddities to it, but they executed the story very well. One of the best parts of the film is it's cultural uniqueness, as I can't think of another movie quite like it.

Also, I get the joke: I think T'Challa's little sister used it, in a derogatory manner. They can use it in the film, because those are the characters, but I'd just advise against using it in public.

I think you missed my usage of it then.  For T'Challa to be white, in a central African setting, he'd have to be a 'colonizer'.  Derogatory or not, you simply can't have a white civilization in central Africa unless it was a colonized.  He'd have to be the very 'derogatory' thing that partly pressured Wakanda into hiding itself in the first place.  I wasn't using it as a joke.

I see your point, but it would require excision of "colonizer" from the script. If they are the same as those outsiders (all white people, in the film), then it would be intrinsically contradictory. Like actual Africa, in you will find virtually no white people, aside from the extreme northern and southern regions. Ultimately, he couldn't be a colonizer, because the implication is what white people are colonizers: change the race, change the script.
