You're talking about changing the character's back story to make it something else again. Superman's skin color being different doesn't really change Superman's story. He's an alien who looks human and was sent to Earth by his parents.
Though I would laugh if they make his adoptive parents White and people rage over it.
Yeah, I brain farted there, I thought he was talking about another "John".
I get it: changing white characters okay, but black characters nah.
Sad part is this racism will be tolerated by the "anti-racist" left.

Lol. It might be part of Stewarts background too. But goes back to the Miles Morales thing, if you make Hal, Kyle and Guy black, then that kind of shits on Stewart.
Although I agree with your underlying sentiment, that if a black actor asked to audition for Superman, and nailed it, then sure why not? But this seems as if its already pre-determined that he has to be black. Which im not a fan of.
Literally not what I'm saying, but I get it that's all you've got.
eg If they cast the Red Skull as a Black Nazi, that would be stupid, as being White (at least before the transformation) is integral to the character's story.
Why is making Superman Black racist though? Convince me with logic and reason.
Why not create your own black super hero? They too sad and pathetic to do so? Or just lazy and racist?

Aww why can't the little b*tch play john stewart? He too good to play a black character?

Plenty of DC heroes that are naturally black, or they can create their own.
I'd sell them the rights to my hero whose knee's grow to unimaginable lengths. His name: Kneegrow.

Not a bad idea, but the name recognition isn't there.
Icon is also another character where skin color is an integral part of the character's story, as being "Black" in 1800s America shaped the character, iirc.
Yeah that excuse is done with, so stop. Being any minority in the 1800s could shape ya, so this hill: do not die on it.

It's not integral, it could be done with another race if need be.
And people would be just as justified whining over it as this.
And since you don't care, you'll stop digging this hole I'm sure and move on
I would also kinda be amused, I love how inferiors like you reveal themselves in this stuff so pretending victory makes me smile.

I don't think that matters all that much these days so long as the quality is there. Hardly anyone knew who the GotG were before their cinematic introduction. In fact the same can be said for most of the MCU roster with the exceptions of Spiderman and Hulk prior to Ironman being released.
