Handy Man is black. I always thought speed racer sort of looked like a Jap, and am pretty sure the cartoon was made in Japan.

LOTR would have been a better example.

Superman was the Jewish response to the idea of the German ...superman.
The X-Men are a literary device to explore the alienation of society's marginalized groups. The X-Men are a symbol of anti-racism, anti-xenophobia, anti-homophobia, etc. They aren't really talking about "mutants" FYI

Anyway, Jubilee is Chinese (or mixed race, can't completely remember).
I'm not an X Men fan myself, but we had comic characters as name place holders at my wedding. I had Jubilee (because of Cherries Jubilee - a pancake dish at Happy Eater!) although being a Neil Gaiman fan I argued for one of the female Endless. Funnily enough, my ex wasn't keen on me being represented by Death, Delirium, Despair or Desire (who in the comic is a unspecified gender meddling backstabber). Sheesh.

For the record I think this was a deliberate stir by Duck in order to watch Americans (Westerners) get their panties in a twist. Hence my reply about HKC.
But hey, she gifted us a thread re race/ diversity in comics, and comics aren't discussed much here

There was a DC Freeze also, Batman.
I think Duck has had a breakdown. Comics have always been very diverse. |

Not sure what this has to do with Hollywood, but Superman is not homo sapiens, so can't be Caucasian.
Green Lantern is black. So is Lex Luthor (in the Justice League show). So is Static Shock.

Speaking of Green Lantern, aka the Green Hornet, his side kick was Bruce Lee in the Hollywood version....

Green Lantern has nothing to do with Green Hornet. Green Hornet is a relative of the Lone Ranger. Green Lantern is an interstellar cop.

Hollywood is over 80% white. I am sure that is relevant somehow.
My only favorite part of Spiderman3 was in that brief moment spidey was suspended in front of the American flag. I felt proud about the US for the first time since... never. It was subtle. It was as if to say. See world. We can still have fun and not take ourselves seriously. After all you'll only get this in HOLLYWOOD! * chest puffs up-buttons burst- salutes* |
