The whole theme of the second movie was that a Black man would betray his friend because he wanted the white woman.
The first, of course, was built around nazi themes and pageantry.
I never ever saw the second movie that way. But didnt he come back for his buddy in the third movie? Why does the Judas character have to be white? And Star Wars black Judas comes back in the third movie with redemption! /extreme sarc
