    Ok, I found this site via this thread, so apologies if its ressurecting an old thread.
     
    1. Sunspot = Yes. He is black. You can be brazilian and black. In fact, a simple wikipedia search will reveal the majority of brazilians are 'black' (by american standards...meaning having some black ancestry). As a person whos been to brazil, let me tell you you will probably see more black and 'brown' brazilians than 'white' people on any given day anywhere but on television or in far southern brazil (sao paolo). And  brazilian culture, due to heavy influx of african populations during the slave trade (other than the US, Brazil brought the highest number of africans to the americas), there are far more 'african' traditions and styles you see in brazils music and culture and dance than even with African Americans in America, who have comparably been mostly wiped of all african heritage (aside from skin color).
     
    2. Apocalypse = Depends on who was drawing him. He is from ancient egypt. If he was from pre-hellenic but post Kushitic egypt, he would look more black, because thats how most egyptians looked then (kushitic and nubian influenced). If he was from post hellenic egypt but pre-arab invasion egypt, he would look white (greek and roman influxed). If he was from modern (post islam) egypt, he would look arab. People, over time, change due to changing population mixing and invasions. You wouldnt say an American today looks then same as they did 2000 years ago (because most americans today are either of mostly european or african descent, and no longer native americans).
     
    3.  There is a difference between race, nationality and ethnicity. 
    Black/white/asian/amerindian = race. 
    Puerto Rican/Brazilian/American/Canadian = Nationalities. 
    Hispanic/Cajun, African American, Afro Latin American, = Ethnicities. 
     
    You can be a different category in in thing.

    1. Yes, it is very sad. Equal to that, how they have been removed is how their treaties are ignored by states and non natives today. Its a disgrace.
     
    2. Hispanics are NOT the second largest race in America. They are the second largest ethnicity. Ethnicity is different than race. There are white hispanics, black hispanics, mullato and mestizo hispanics. 
     
    So, the largest 2 races in america are white, then black, then asian, then mestizo then mullato. 
    The order of largest 'ethnicities' in America are German White, Hispanic, african american, English white, and Irish White.

    Hispanic is a race. If you're describing a caucasian who was born in Spain and refer to them as Hispanic, THAT is ethnicity. But someone that is a Latino, whether they live in Brazil or Puerto Rico OR Spain, their status as a Hispanic/Latino IS their race. It's the color of their skin, their genetic makeup.

    @Thunderscream: Sorry, but Hispanic = Ethnicity. Not race. Race = Black, White, Asian, Amerindian. Ethnicity = African American, Hispanic, German American, Korean, Japanese. 
     
    Quick gander at wikipedia (or websters) can verify it. Race and Ethnicity are two different things. 
     
    Added: Also, brazilians are not hispanic. They are sometimes refered to as Luso-hispanic, but not hispanic (they are not partially spanish, nor do they speak spanish). Trust me, you wouldnt want to call a brazilian person hispanic. Latin, maybe, but not hispanic.

    @Thunderscream: No, you are still confusing race, ethnicity and nationality. 
     
    Mexican = Nationality. Person born in mexico. Can be of any race (white, native, meztizo), and can be of any ethnicity (franco mexican, germano mexican, sino mexican, amero mexican) 

    Mexican American = Ethnicity. American (nationality) of mexican descent.  Can be racially white, native, or meztizo. 

    Meztizo = Race. Person of mixed spanish european and native american ancestry. Can be mexican, or columbian, or any other latin american nationality.
     
     A person can be all three, or any one of these things without being the other. Race and ethnicity are not the same. For references, check merriam websters dictionary. This is basic 6th grade social studies definitions stuff here. I grew up in the south and even I was taught it (no offense).

     That's not a great roll call.  Half of them I barely (or don't) know.  And most aren't regular characters.   But of course, you can't even 'make' new mutants to improve that line up.... That makes me kind of sad.

    I know honestly each minority gets one spot, one Hispanic, and one Asian. Fortunately, Idie is a female minority and she is twelve those factors boost her chances of survival. I guarantee that either the Asian or Hispanic light gets it first, although the Hispanic light probably goes first seeing how common his powerset is. 
     
    Minority males all get killed, are villains, get depowered, or just character assassinated sometimes both. 
    The two most recent black males, Prodigy and Gentle, have been rendered useless. Gentle lost his vibranium so he might as well be depowered and Prodigy got depowered and replaced by X-club despite being smarter then all of them put together. Seriously from a main character in New X-men to haven't been seen since Second Coming where he was turned into a whiny wimp. Out and out character assassination.

    Doorman (same story as Cloak)  
     
    POSSIBLY BLACK

    He's part of Project Purgatory, he has only a few panels showing his powers. His name is not revealed yet so he doesnt have a page on here :S

    Apocalypse
    Bling!
    Cipher
    Death Reaper (at least half black)  
    Felon
    Frenzy
    Gentle 
    Lightbright
    Lil' Bro
    Living Monolith
    Nekrah
    Storm
    Tempo
    Tito Bohusk (half black, his mom was Angel Salvadore)  
    Asylum (possibly black, and possibly powered, like cloak his mutation caused him access to darkforce)
    Batwing (we never see him in human form)     
    Gargouille (never seen when a human)  
    Glob Herman (never seen when a human)
    Leech (possibly, we dont know what he would look like non-powered) 
    Litterbug (never shown when human) 
    Mystique (shapeshifter with naturally blue skin, possibly a neophym, her true skin tones are unknown)
    No-Girl (mutation changed skin tones and then she lost her body, so we dont know if she was black)
    Prism (possibly black, also cloned by the sinisters so probably there are a few of him still alive)
    Rockslide (might be, we never saw him in human form or his parents)      

    Interesting point about the characters who's natural form we've never seen. I took out all the characters from your list I'm pretty sure are descendants of other darker skinned races (i.e. Gateway & Bishop are Aborigine)  
     
    and we can add Idie, Gentle, M, Emplate, Synch & Prodigy

    @Thunderscream:   i think gateway and bishop still count--the topic is black not african-descent.  but i dont really mean to offend anyone so correct me if im wrong.
    anyway, thanks for agreeing with me on the characters whos human forms we dont see.  and cool to hear one of the five new mutants is black.   
    and while i think most of what your saying is totally right, i think you forgot prodigy is no longer a mutant.  his power was photoimpressionistic and absorbant memory (like a souped-up Taskmaster) and he lost that power.  he is still powerful becomes he remembers everything from when he was able to absorb it, but he doesnt absorb new things.  
    one last thing--i wouldnt be so sure gateway is still a mutant.  his powers enabled him to tap into another dimension--just because he lost the x-gene wouldnt mean the portal that had become his body would close.  just like it is theorized that if cyclops was depowered he would just explode since the x-gene makes him invulnerable to punch-dimension rays and the portal is a side effect.   i think it would be interesting for them to develop this.  i like the character gateway a lot id like to see him more.   
    anyway, thanks for reading my list :)

    @Violet-Eyed Dragon: I thought Gateway was still powered 
     
    I know Prodigy is depowered, but he's still a valuable asset to the X-Men with the combined knowledge of Cyclops, Beast, Wolverine and Kitty. He could be the greatest leader the team has ever seen. Maybe if they gave him a power suit like Jubilee's old Wondra gettup he could hold his own in the field too.

    he is a mutant in the fact that he is mutated.  thats not the same thing as being a mutant.  @unicornpuncher said:

    He is a decendant of Gateway (I think his great-grandfather), who was Australian aboriginal (widely considered "black"). M might be his grandmother too! ^_^
