This comic is so fucking stupid that I had to share it here, Jesus Christ.

Catch these kinds of people by trapping them in their own fucking rhetoric. Point out that Finn has been nothing but the token comic relief black character, as compared to the wealthy, brave, and powerful Lando Calrissian, or the stoic, strong, and bold Mace Windu of the OT and PT, respectively.
Here, let's break it down:
PT: Mace Windu is the second most powerful Jedi alive. Period, no questions asked, only behind Grandmaster Yoda himself. He's a monster with the blade and went toe to toe with Palpatine long after his fellow Masters were cut down. You could argue that Palpatine went easy on him, knowing of his cold relationship with Anakin and needing at least one Jedi alive for use as emotional bait, but still, even surviving for as long as he did was an achievement that only a few in the Galaxy could match. On Geonosis he distinguished himself by cutting down Jango Fett and obliterating scores of battle droids, and in the Genndy cartoon he performs some awe-inspiring feats. A powerful man.
OT: Lando Calrissian lacks the outright, balls out, super heavy power of Mace Windu, but makes up for it with his positive description. He did sell out Han, but it was implied it was for the greater good, and this was a decision he regretted immensely, to the point of joining the Rebellion. He was a shrewd and suave leader who stood to Vader without fear, and he was essential in the destruction of the Second Death Star, and the rescue of Han Solo. A powerful man.
ST: Finn is a bumbling idiot used as the butt of every joke that comes his way. Any pathos he might have of being a 'defective' stormtrooper and his seeming hesitance to kill innocents goes right out the goddamn window as he gleefully shoots down people he called brothers mere hours before. He is depicted as incapable of doing anything that Rey cannot do. On Death Star 3/Starkiller Base, he only is useful because he mopped the floor near a weak point on the station. He does nothing to stop Phasma here, having Chewbacca do the grunt work. He tries to stand to Kylo Ren and is quickly defeated for his efforts, while the (even less trained) Rey manages to defeat him in a clumsy, awkward saber duel.
By TLJ, he has somehow recovered near instantly from his wounds, and is depicted as a near useless hanger on for most of his subplot, being tazed for no reason, and then brought along as a completely inept hanger-on for all of Canto Bight, playing second fiddle to Rose and contributing nothing. Upon their capture, he does absolutely nothing and survives by happenstance, only defeating Phasma because the writer said so. He then almost sacrifices himself for the greater good, before Rose rams him out of the air in a display of incredible hypocrisy, considering that she kept alive the memory of her sister who did the
exact same thing mere hours earlier. He then does nothing of substance for the rest of the film, and if the leaks are any indication, for the rest of the trilogy. A walking punchline.
So, Disney fans, why do you hate people of color so much? Isn't that racist?
