As anyone who has seen the Star Wars prequels knows, Jar Jar Binks is the Devil. Ok, I may be exaggerating, but only slightly really. Maybe only most people know. But what makes Jar Jar such an abomination exactly? Well besides his annoying voice and character design that makes me want to vomit, there's the fact that he's possibly a racist stereotype.
What am I talking about, you ask? Well, many people have suggested that his odd speaking patterns, (you know, "MEESA YOU'RE HUMBLE SERVENT!" "MEESA BACK!" "MEESA THE REINCARNATION OF ADOLF HITLER!"... I made up one of these quotes, can you guess which one?) is similar to those old blackface characters from old timey minstrel shows. So there's that. To be perfectly honest, that probably wasn't George Lucas's intention, but that's how it came across to a lot of people.
Also, Jar Jar Binks was voiced by some guy named Ahmed Best, which despite the last name, is the worst name ever.
