I am a 14 yr old girl and love comics. but many times I'm disappointed by the sheer lack of good ethnic superheroes. Asian,Black, etc.
Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) Asian. Was recently made into a supervillian. She I really loved this character. and will replaced with a white lesbian girl. geez (pet peeve)
Anyway. Many ethnic superheroes are replacements for White originals in DC comics. Atom,Blue Beetle, Firestorm, Steel, Dr Light. Green Latern. Is it so hard to create a new character that wasn't a White person before? On message boards whites then complain about their loss. and how the original was better. I'm with them I don't want a 2nd rate replacement. I want new and original. Nightgirl not Batgirl or Cosmicflame instead of Firestorm.
They know these are only temps. Is John Stewart even used outside of the cartoon? Smallville fans. Pete Ross and Lana are white. why even change it. You pick up the comic and find out. enough with the revisionist history.
so what do you think?
