It doesn't bother me that they're making the new Spidey black/Latino. What bothers me is the reason why they're doing it: purely and completely for racial reasons.

No.

Please, go read the entire thing first before you make such a bloody stupid comment.

"because of racial reasons"...absolute rubbish! Peter Parker died. Someone else was needed. The fact he's black/latino/mixed race or whatever has nothing to do with it.

Indeed, they'll have a broader social context to draw on, but to say it was purely for racial reasons is complete ******* ********.

Troll lol etc
 
Woody don't say Troll or NO and the Same with SourChipmunk

We really don't know why, you both were not there in the office when they picked the actor :p

Perhaps the article is a little too open to interpretation, then, as that is how it read to me:

BBC said:
Morales lives with his black and Latino parents in ethnically diverse Brooklyn, while Parker was white and raised by his aunt and uncle in a mainly white neighbourhood in Queens.

"Going into this we knew we wanted to make a statement about the 21st century," said Alonso.

The Marvel editor-in-chief, whose mother was from England and father from Mexico, said he cried when Barack Obama was elected president "partly because he was African-American but largely because of the fact that he was mixed race".

Alonso added that when Morales "peels off his mask now, he's going to have a very different look and he's going to resonate emotionally with all sorts of new readers".

That looks to me like the only reason they are doing it is because it will get people's attention. If he was another caucasian, it wouldn't have the same effect.

I don't troll. :p

That explains it MUCH better. I recant my previous statement. :)
