It was an interesting article for any Jason fan:
As to Caucasity, the article is in the NYT, and she couldn't say the crowd was as white as a KKK summer picnic, and that because they are white, they have no rhythm, and clap poorly.
As to Darth Vader, I think poets have to use care in drawing metaphors from popular culture, particularly poets who write from inspiration alone, as she appears to do.
She/ her husband appears to have gotten the part about Vader being an overwhelmingly powerful, almost force of nature, kind of guy and missed the part about him being on the side of ultimate evil in the first movie released.
If she saw all the movies, she has a different view of Vader than people whose view of him is stuck in the first Star Wars movie ever where he appears as the quintessential evil bogeyman, hissing through his fearsome mask.
Nathan stans, who saw the first movie only, could be excused from being offended at the comparison. Star Wars stans might understand it better.
btw, don't many fans put their most debatable opinions in the mouths of their friends and family when they write?
