Black inqui - blm/feminist, the only one in the show that is 'smart' (has a plan)

So you have a problem with smart people of colour? Or smart women?
Or is it just the combination of the two that you dislike?
I think what he’s trying to say is that she’s the only intelligent person in the show. I can see why someone would think that, and I think the other inquisitors, especially the Grand Inquisitor, should have been more intelligent and used a strategy, since they are supposed to be elite Jedi hunters. I don’t think she’s the only intelligent person in the show though, Kenobi is intelligent, and Leia. So maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what it seemed to me like they were saying. If I’m right, then yes, they could have phrased their argument better, but it doesn’t seem to me like they’re hating on black people or women who are smart, it seems like their problem is when those people are portrayed as the only smart people in the show.
And if that character had been a white male and still been seen as the "only smart character on the show", would they be making an issue out of their gneder or ethnicity?
That's the problem.
If they think she is the only smart character on the show, that's a possible legitimate complaint (although, like you, I don't agree). But they made it about the character's gender and ethnicity. They drew attention to her being a black woman as the reason for her being "the only smart character on the show".
