I think he would have spared us sequel apologists deflecting the fact that Finn is a walking racial stereotype. Just think TFA: - Black stormtrooper becomes runaway slave; - Gets named by a white guy (sensible) - finally turns out to be a space janitor mopping the floors - Jives space-negro slang a la "Droid, Please!" - gets called a thief and is electrocuted by white girl (in TLJ again) - is generally inferior in abilities and character to white guys and gets lectured (Rey, Poe, Han) - is disingenuous and chases after the white chick "Got a boyfriend, cute boyfriend?", REEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!! - shoots at child-soldier comrades with a lot of joy without remorse - bumbling hysterical fool, drinks with animals and gets strangled by Chewie (like Lando).  But I'm generally ok with Boyega, he's solid with the crap he is given.
