Ok let me make myself crytsal clear. I am aware that things have improved alot, but they could still improve.....im not that pissed.
I know I keep going on about Milestone comics but if you read any of the issues you would see what im getting at. It wasnt just for black people it was for EVERYONE and they pulled it off!
Yeah I know that the Irish went through alot of persecution, but I dont think they have anything as bad as the Atlantic Slave Trade.
Anyway this is good at least were talking about it.

Another Scottish one was the guy who could copy any sound he heard. He later turned into a feral form and has a magic sword or something. Still only 4 though
"No im sorry things have improved alot, but I have been through alot of ****"
sounds like you're gung-ho over the lack of black characters (even though there's hundreds) because you were discriminated yourself, but it's hardly the comic writer's fault.
I suggest you read up on your Irish history...the discrimination was hell....why you ask it's because they were Britans next door neighbours....
BTW You're stereotyping...that's not how the world works...Native Americans were almost wiped out by the Europeans...they were considered savages...the entire Indian nation was ripped in two into what is known as Pakistan and India today....do you know how many people lost their lives then? Remember Australia...when they tried to clense the land of ALL races by breeding out the other races? I could go through hundreds of incidents where people were discriminated against...Black people aren't the only ones...who had it hard....I mean at least people are aware of the Black persecution today....there are things happening in Asia that make my skin crawl...
Heck today you get religious discrimination because of the current global events occuring...
I'm half South African and half Irish...there's nothing wrong in living in a Less Economic Developing Country or "Third World Country" as you call it...it's a beautiful place...
Sway and Jubilee...M is another one....

seriously what are you complaining about Alfheim? there are plenty of black characters in comics. I think the problem is comics think in four major terms: Whites, blacks, hispanics, and oriental asians. and all of the other races are used minutely. For instance there are more than 1 billion indians in india alone but you'll find it hard to find that many indian characters in comics. i'm indian but you don't see me complaining about it.

Yes im aware of that im just trying to explain why I feel the way I do. As I said before its not too bad now, but before it used to piss me off.
It was worse than the Atlantic slave trade? Ireland doesnt have to deal with unfair trading. Make povery history is not for Ireland.
Im stereotyping cos thats what people used to do to me. Indians and Pakistanis may have got killed but they never got stick for it. I got hell.
Ermm this is may fault you misunderstood me. I dont think there is anything wrong with Africa being a 3rd World country, I am just trying to explain to my Irish friend the amount of ammunition and insults that I had to put up with.
To be quite honest im not that bothered now really, I think there is room for improvement. Like I have said if you had read Milestone comics you would understand.
