Let's not actively go looking for it where it doesn't even exist.Ĭlick " HERE " to go back to the home page. Can we stop actively looking for it? More importantly, can we not just embrace everyone as a fellow human being, regardless of their color? We have enough problems with hate on this planet. Look, there's enough racism in the world. However, this doesn't fall in line with the narrative of racism, so this certainly can't be pointed out by the objectors. If there's anyone who has been oppressed in the Chinese poster of The Force Awakens, it's Oscar Isaac, Chewbacca and Maz Kanata for being removed completely. More so, it's convenient to the narrative of the person implying it. The bottom line, to imply racism simply because a character was shrunken down to enlarge spaceships is idiotic. The Japaneses incorporated a mech into the show because they knew as a stand alone super hero this aspect would not be popular to their culture. Need another example? Simply look to your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Therefore, it's important to market this aspect of the film to them. Regardless of American's point of view on the subject, robots and spaceships sell in Asian cultures. However, it was such a massive success in China that it prompted the sequel. I site Pacific Rim as the best argument to this claim. It's a selling point for them to see the movie. Therefore, it would make sense that Disney would want these to be more predominant in the image. The strong fact of the matter is that droids and spaceships appeal vastly to the Asian culture. The shrinkage of John Boyega's Finn can also be attributed to this desire. More so, this attributes to the desire on behalf of Disney to incorporate larger spaceships and the droid, BB-8. Racism against aliens and Guatemalans? I don't think so. Do you notice any omissions between the two? How about Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron, Chewbacca and Maz Kanata? Though small on the USA version, these characters have been completely removed from the Chinese version.
