Ok but you know whats messed up? My best friend was Irish and we could relate to each other because of the abuse we got and even he used to flip now and again and call me n*****. So you can imagine how ***** up **** was.
Anyway my main point is that I think Marvel has improved alot but it could still improve some more.

Ok fair enough its just that sometimes people make you feel like that. Anyway main point is more diversity.
Dont get me wrong im a alot better about it now. Iguess im in a bit of a bad mood and I wanted people to at least understand where im coming from.

King Kam is a nutter. Long pig done a crappy thread. So king Kam says......"BOOOOO this thread sux. Long pig is a disgrace to the human race, we need to break into his lawn and burn a big cross on it!!!!!!!!"
Look it comes down to this, there are more Caucasian characters, because there are more comics purchased by Caucasian people. Could it be more diverse? Yes. But with most comic book settings, it probably wouldn't be statistically realistic. I mean, why would there be as many Native American heroes in New York City as there are Caucasian heroes, when there's not as many Native American people living in New York City as there are Caucasian? It wouldn't make any sense. You have to remember that your talking about MINORITY groups, which is why there shown in the minority. Creating equal characters of EVERY race will just insure that there are a bunch of characters that are going to flop, because most readers won't relate as well to them. The comic companies would waste MILLIONS of dollars, just trying to establish a bunch of characters that they know won't go over well.

And every chick has huge boobs and perfect legs. Whats your point?
Most of the popular super heroes were created during a time where the white male was the ideal man in the media, so that's how these characters were created. At this point, you can't go back and make Superman black just for the sake of being black. You don't turn around and make Spider-Man asian just for the sake of being asian. There's no point, it messes with the continuity, and it will upset the readers. I know when they changed Nick Fury to a black man in the Ultimate series in the Marvel Universe my dad thought it was one of the stupidest things he'd ever seen. He's not racist, and his first wife was black. It's just an idiotic thing to do.
Minority super heroes for the sake of minority super heroes is just as bad as making all super heroes white.
