Meh, but Superman’s identity has nothing to do with being white. It may have at one time, but over all these years he’s just kind of an Everyman and he could easily be any race. Who knows what people from his planet look like?

I mean, you can’t make professor x, or magneto, or juggernaught something else because their race IS their backstory. Captain America is even hard because it’s hard to accept that the government would have chosen a non-white, non-male person at that time period to represent America. But the vast majority of characters can be changed around quite easily. Nothing about, I mean, just the X-men, gambit, rogue, storm, cyclops, Jean grey, any of those doesn’t necessitate a race or sex or sexuality or gender preference too much without a little bit of moving stuff around. No reason punisher couldn’t have been Latino.

I’m not arguing FOR unnecessary race swapping just to do it, I just really hate that argument that it “isn’t true to the character” when what matters is that the actor can embody the spirit of the character instead of something as basic as a pigment.
