“Drakes ethnicity has no impact on the character” is such a stupid talking point. Just because the character doesn’t make their race their whole personality and character, doesn’t make it irrelevant. Bobby Drake was literally raised by bigots that don’t accept Mutants, Minorities and were furious when he eventually came out as Gay. They’re a white family that’s ignorant, there’s actually several story arcs where Bobby tackles his ignorant parents. 90s he brings home Rogue to pretend she’s his gf, only for Rogue to agree that they’re ignorant 2015-2018 He came out as Gay and they say quote “Being a mutant was bad enough. What good are you now if youre not even gonna give us grandkids” 2021 showed Bobby forgiving his dad when he passed away and making amends with his mother for being ignorant and making his upbringing hard. Let’s also not forget Bobby is from a white suburban neighbourhood that attacked him in his origin because he dated a woman of colour, and his powers manifested. It’s very much his character that he’s white. Y’all larpers need to stfuu and go support actual minority characters instead of begging for reskins.

@lyndenburtonii If Black Panther's race matters Iceman's does. Can I ask why you don't go back to your motherland Africa? I mean you hate white people and want them erased but CHOOSE to live in the only white majority nations left? You only target white characters for erasure after all. Walt wouldnt want your views being in charge of his company

White Americans with aggreived entitlement is a peak hilarity 😂. America has been doing Yellow Face and Whitewashing Asian characters for hundreds of years including Ghengis Khan played by John Wayne, David carradine instead of Bruce Lee in Kung Fu, the Good Earth, Matt Damon in the Great Wall of China. You can't make up the Egregious Entitlement and Victimhood complex. It's path etic.
