A 2018 interview with Trevor Noah went viral on social media.

Of course, sci-fi fans don't need any excuse to do racism, especially

I was going to ask why this poor girl is constantly getting so much racist vitriol but I see from the other comments she was in a star war so mystery solved.

Even as something as expansive as the fantasy and sci-fi genre, the idea that any POC exists in those worlds is just TOO out there. New languages? Easy. Made up cultures and species of beings? No problem? Human women? Black people? POC? Beyond the expanses of planet Earth? Now that's just asking to walk-on-the-sun ridiculous.

Amandla was the target of racists when she was 12 and got cast to play a black girl.
Then some racist journalist and her gang of Karens tried to call her homophobic when Amandla replied to her trashy-ass movie review about her boobs.
And now, she the target of racists again... for playing an original character again.

A song is not what I would have replied with.
