For many years media has followed a basic set of tropes that people have accepting and yet torn about for years. In every group, there is usually a token Black guy and a token Woman.
Most people have voiced concern about that representation for a long time. But now with this current line up of Avengers it seems the rolls have been reversed partially. Now Iron Man is the token White guy in an ethnic group. I have seen people go crazy for this and in full support. And thats cool, Im all for diversity. But where is the line drawn?
An all White guy group with one Black guy, is apparently not ok.
An all ethnic group with only one White guy, is apparently ok.
A Captain America that black is ok. Fine I'm cool with that.
Female Wolverine. Odd choice, but I'll see where it goes.
But what if they suddenly made a White Black Panther or a Male Black Widow? If that did happen will people be accepting or will they be out raged?
Where is the line drawn?
