I saw the interview Bill O'Reilly did on FOX News and the professor who was making the accusation seemed to not care whether or not Morrison was Hispanic or elvish... he just cared that he "looks 3rd world."
That is pretty racist.
Also, the whole Jar-Jar being a "Jamaican" stereotype is the most racist thing I have heard yet. I have worked with Jamaicans... I have been friends with Jamaicans... not a single fucking one of them has ever said "Misa go poopoo in my booboo" or even REMOTELY sounded anything like Jar-Jar.
These assholes who claim racism in Star Wars movies are the biggest fuckin' bunch of racist yet.

: Remember when Episode 1 came out and people said that Jar Jar was a stereotype of Jamacans?
: well they are at it again with episode 2, stating that Jango Fett and the clone army "Plays off American paranoia about Mexican immigration!" even though Temuera Morrison (the actor who plays Jango) is from New Zealand and isn't even Hispanic
