Today, I was giving my friend a crash course in Star Wars over coffee. As I was telling him about the primitive and savage Sand People, some attention-seeking tit came out of nowhere and called me racist. Apparently she thought I was talking about people from the Middle East. FML

All you had to say was that you were talking about Tuskan Raiders

I think they *are* from the Middle East. Tatoonie basically fits as one. Well, it's a lot worse off, but still.

As a Star Wars fan, this comment makes me cringe hard.

Dude, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

she's the racist. you talk about a fictional race and she's the one that thought of the middle East people.

Han Solo dies. He was killed by Kylo who joined the dark side. Kylo also survived the explosion at the end which leaves him to be the bad guy in the next movie

So, she heard all of these negative terms and immediately assumed you were talking about people from the Middle East? Interesting.

First of all she shouldn't be listening to other people's conversations, secondly answering when you only heard half of it

That she overheard part of a conversation not including her and automatically assumed "Sand People" had to be about Middle Easterners and not a fictional species says a lot more about her than it does about you, OP.

Its more stereotypical than anything else
