I won’t say I’m particularly passionate about this but I will say this. No one made memes like this when women said they wanted more representation in Hollywood. Or when Jews said they wanted to make sure people didn’t forget the Holocaust. Or when Native Americans got rights to run casinos in states that didn’t legalize gambling. Do I think we should make a main character black just to *seem* be edgy or progressive or whatever? No. But do I think black people should have a chance to show stories that people know and love as the lead character because they did a great job in the role? Absolutely. I think we should let the quality of their performance determine whether or not the decision to cast them was a good one. Just like all ya’all did with Ms. Marvel. So I’m just going to put that there and quietly back away...
