the white guy phenomenon is epitomized by the fandom treatment of mitaka from the force awakens, who is literally nothing and has about 30 seconds of screentime and yet
for anyone who (understandably) doesn’t know who the hell i’m talking about, mitaka is this asshole who tells kyle about finn, rey, and bb-8′s escape from jakku, witnesses kylo destroying a control panel, and gets force grabbed by the throat. that’s literally it that’s actually all he does and yet
