Deluded racists claim victory with #BoycottStarWars even though theaters sell out in 12 hours

Racists who are upset because John Boyega, a black British actor, was cast in a leading role in the upcoming Star Wars sequel are claiming victory over their #BoycottStarWars campaign, even though ticket sales are so brisk they’re crashing websites like Fandango and shattering records. As Josh Dickey notes in Mashable, the vast majority of tweets using the hashtag #BoycottStarWarsVII — 94% — “were merely expressing outrage over its existence.” And it was created in the first place to illicit anger. The Internet troll and white supremacist known as “weev” pointed out “we’re ideologues propagating [an] agenda to millions.” Another Twitter user named “Critical Spooking” who pushed the Star Wars boycott described the hashtag “branding.”
