Maybe I’ll get crap for asking about this; but how exactly are Gungans supposed to be racist?
Or maybe I should rather ask; who are they supposed to be stereotypes of? I get why people complain about the Neimodians, as well as Watto. But what exactly are the Gungans supposed to be similar too?I’m honestly curious about this, because I feel like I’m missing some connection here that everyone else seems to find quite obvious.
I had this same question myself not long ago, because I just didn’t really get it. I’ll try to find the responses to it, but the gist was that in the OT, all aliens spoke alien languages whereas in the PT, they just spoke English in what are generally accepted as racial stereotype accents.
Gungans (Jar Jar in particular) are said to be based on black stereotypes.
JEDIT: Id done beat me to it.
