about the connection to people of colour, i did not state this connection. i think a reading of the droids as an enslaved and disenfranchised class is very reasonable and even obvious. i can recommend this video by pop culyure detective about the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD2UrB7zepo.
i dont need to equate the situation of the droids to the real history of human slavery, to be critical towards it or have sympathy for the droids. i can understand, if you dont care about fictional slurs against opressed groups, but i personally dont like using them.
fwiw, know your meme cites it as the origin. i am enclined to belive this, as it is also the context i know the term from.
