the problem is that a lot of these actors have been saddled with crappy scripts and direction the past few years (TLJ, RoTS, Discovery, Picard) so many of the characters turned out crap, white or not. but then the racists see that as their chance to jump in and attack the actors themselves, so between that and actual legitimate criticism you get a giant toxic mess.
good of Ewan to address it directly, but sadly nothing will make these online dickweeds go away in Star Wars or any other franchise.

Tbh I’m not into Star Trek so I didn’t notice. But I guess fandoms in general just suck
