    I’m watching a science fiction movie and it suddenly starts focusing on black history instead.

    So I’m offended by that bait and switch, or whatever you call it.

    Is that valid?

      Let’s try our own bait and switch:

      I’m watching a science fiction show and suddenly they start focusing on American history instead.

      So I’m offended by the bait and switch, or whatever you call it.

      Is that valid?

      The answer is still no, it’s not valid to equate a movie to, oh… systematic oppression. If you didn’t like the movie, you didn’t like the movie.
