Mostly Caucasian...In comics

I dont know about that. For example if you're asaian you may get racist abuse but people ahve this thing that asians are smart. Black racist abuse is basically, you're a slave, black people are stupid and primitive and have achieved anything. It also does not help when you read about slavery and see Africans starving on TV.

If you're Irish they might say that the Irish are crazy and stupid, but they dont have anything in their history as bad as the slave trade and Ireland is not a 3rd World country!

No im sorry things have improved alot, but I have been through alot of ****.

do you know ANYTHING about irish history?

We can see what you're saying but you're dramatising it, like there are few black comic characters. There are hundreds of them, and of other races.

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. 🙂

Yeah Wolfsbane..I forgot about her....Emma got rid of her...when Rhane was caught sleeping with one of the students....Moonstar got kicked out right after her....

I would say the New X-Men were quite a diverse crowd.....

They are quite diverse if I remember right.

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 🙁

Then what's with this:

"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....

I only know ONE Brazilian Superhero...

Make that TWO!!

Fire & Sunspot

What about Selene and Magma? I thought they're both brazilian?

And that Green Fire lady in DC...what's her name again?

Another what?

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.

More characters of diverse origins..I think Sway and Jubilee are chinese? Not sure about M she's French...I think....

Uber Powerful Gaia is also from a diverse background...

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.

No

DC has one and Marvel has one.

I'm sure there are other companies out there

BUT

There are probably not more then 50 brazilian Superheros

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.
