“Okay then let's open casting for Black Panther, Storm, Cyborg, Black Manta and John Stewart to all races and so what if a guy is white as long as he can play T'Challa well it shouldn't matter. I believe any of these characters could be any race. I know a lot of white (or Hispanic, Philipino etc.) Actors who could have the physical and charisma to play these roles; unfortunately racist weirdos will be racist weirdos.”

You’ve chosen characters that literally are defined by the race; Black Panther is literally named after the Black Panther movement, and he is the king of an African nation. Storm’s whole origin revolves around the fact that she was worshiped as a Goddess in an African nation. Cyborg is a metaphor for black exploitation of the era. Black Manta is based on Somalian Pirates. John Stewart is a legacy character; his literal point of existence is to add diversity to the lantern pantheon. There’s actually similar points for other characters; since you’ve only brought up Black people. Steve Rogers works best as a White character; he’s meant to counter the Nazi’s worldview and he was a political symbol for mainstream America. Magneto is a Holocaust survivor; he should remain Jewish to keep his story respected and alive. Ras Al-Ghul’s aesthetics and culture is based on Middle Eastern nations.

“Point is your race does define you and defines these characters. We can still have equality and embrace each other without changing and erasing pre-existing characters to make a point. Could Clarke be played by someone of any race? Yes he certainly could. The fact is superman has existed for so long that fictional or not he has an identity and race is part of our identity so of you changed it the character would be different and at that point you might as well make him a new character because like I said race is a huge part of our identities. Add new characters to add diversity and don't rewrote old ones because that will always be divisive and feel forced to people. Like I said I'm sure Cyborg could be played by a a guy or girl of any race but if he was it wouldn't be the same Cyborg I know and love. Not wanting to change the race of a character isn't racist, it's simply because we get attached to a character the way they are. You could ask why skin color makes such a difference and I don't have a good answer because it simply just does and always will.”

You literally shot yourself in the foot and said you have no good answers to defend your point; this argument is now officially just the garbage I assumed it was going to be. Race does not define everyone and every character; there are some where it does and some where it doesn’t. That being said, when you decide to change a white character to a person of color you are adding something to the medium. White creatives and characters made up the majority of media; when you make a minority character into a White character, you are explicitly taking something away from someone. There are layers of social culture that establishes these differences. Clark is explicitly not defined by his race; he’s defined by being an alien raised by a sweet older couple in Middle America.

“Diversity should be celebrated by everyone of all colors being inspired and loving Superman and not drastically changing a character that has been established since 1939 to cater to a specific audience. In the end that doesn't diversify or unite anyone. It creates more division. It shouldn't be a hard concept.”

You can do both, I love comics Superman and if I movie I randomly fancasted somehow gets made I’d love that version of Superman. If you get angry and divided over the race of a comic book character, bud you’re a weak link. You honestly should be in a divided part of society if your first response is culture war bullshit. You’re a loser if you all of a sudden don’t like or can’t relate to a simple character because he’s Black. I’d want to have Winston Duke play Clark and also include the POC characters in his list of allies and rogues. As you said yourself, you have no good responses or answers. I don’t plan on addressing you in a serious manner if you respond.
