I called it!!!!
Currently a twitter feud is under way about people being racist about John Boyega, a British actor, who happens to be of African descent, portraying a storm trooper.

Twitters social justice warriors have leapt upon nerds, like myself, asking questions about him.
They are screaming and frothing at their collectives mouths that we are racists...
asking inane non-questions about why we cannot accept a black man in a universe full of alien species...
many of whom have refused to even read the basic questions posed by fans...


OK, so FTW, here goes:

Originally, as depicted in Attack of the Clones, ALL clones were created from Jango Fett, who was portrayed by Temura Morrison, who happens to be of Maori descent.

Since the scene of John Boyega in a Storm trooper uniform takes place roughly 50 odd years later (20 years from Attack of the Clones until A New Hope, then an additional 30 years from then until Episode 7) we can assume one of 4 possibilities:
1.) John Boyega's character is not a Storm trooper, but rather stole the uniform, just as Han and Luke did in Episode 4.
2.) In the 50 odd years that have passed, the Empire has changed it's genetic sequencing for clones, or In the 50 odd years that have passed, the Empire has changed it's recruiting practices, and allows for non clones to enlist.
3.) The producers messed up
4.) The producers did not mess up and this conundrum will be explained...
Nerd Rant over...

What did retards do before twitter?
