Awakens was out over the weekend and there
was quite a stir on social media because John
Boyega, A Nigerian, is black and acting the
role of an Imperial Stormtooper (fictional
soldiers); a role that they say has only been
played by white people.
The hashtag #blackstormtrooper was a
trending topic on Twitter over the weekend,
leading to some people writing racist
comments.
John, who also acted in Half of a Yellow Sun as
Chiwetel Ejiofor's character's houseboy,
maturely handled the critics in one post on
instagram. Find what he said after the cut…
