Jar Jar Binks! His racist caricature of a slapstick, hard to understand, black Caribbean. What was he thinking?
People cannot decide if Jar-Jar, and the Gungan race, represent either a racist depiction of those native to the Caribbean islands, with their accents and speech patterns being a caricature of how many believe people native to the islands speak, or if Jar-Jar is a character who represents a sort of one-man minstrelsy, depicting black people as ‘stupid’ or ‘rash’ through many of his actions during the film, due to the connection being made between his species and people from the Caribbean islands.
