Are there racists? Sure. Is the Alt right a racist group? Of course.
Is there a huge problem with sexual harassment, assault, rape in Hollywood (and in the world), sadly, YES!
What I take issue with is the fact that filmmakers and the studios are more concerned with pleasing demographics than telling worthwhile stories.
I'm all for diversity and equality as long as it serves the story. The OT had diversity and equality and it was focused on the characters, no matter who they were. For people who have issues with Rose, Finn, Holdo or any of the other characters because of their skin color or gender (or the actors who portrayed them) then that is another issue entirely.
Again, it's all about the story. It doesn't matter if the director, writer, or actors are black, white, gay, straight, conservative, liberal, athiest or religious. Telling good stories is the point of all this. That's all the point should ever be.
