Mike Malloy - Star Wars Boycott Calls Film Anti-White



The Force is with the Internet as it (im)patiently awaits the release of the first trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Not everyone is looking forward to the chance to revisit a galaxy far, far away, however; a social media movement is asking fans to #BoycottStarWarsVII.

The hashtag, which started appearing on Twitter Sunday night, expresses objection to the fact that The Force Awakens features lead characters who aren't white males, with its users accusing the movie of pushing a sinister multicultural agenda.

They tried with American sniper and now Star Wars. Star Wars will make a ton of money and possibly be the number 1 movie in 2015.
