These cacs exposing themselves not truly understanding the characters with all that whining.
Na, you're absolutely wrong. The X Men was based on the civil rights movement. In fact, if you watch the original series, they had personalities and problems similar to being African American. I think there should be some diversity in the cast. Nothing major but Magneto, wolverine and Gambit could easily be black.

Neither Magneto or Xavier's character's race play a crucial part in their identity. The Holocaust was used as a basis for Erik's ideology. There's plenty of horrible shyt that's happened to people of all shades based on inequality and one group deeming itself superior to another. Replace the Holocaust with apartheid, Asian internment camps, British rule of India (which gives you a Ghandi/Xavier correlation), etc.
The majority of superheroes don't inherently need to be a certain race or gender. Obviously Black Panther needs to be black, Wonder Woman needs to be female, Amadeus Cho should be Asian, etc. But Superman's an alien, breh. He can be whatever the fukk the writer wants him to be
Na superman was easily white privileged the fukk out. That's why I favored icon.The Obsidian Surfer

Which is a nonfactor in the MCU, because Red Skull is floating corpse with no stone...
Cho is a Korean surname. They don't have to make him a dude, but going with the name Amadeus Cho kind of lends itself to that background. Cho was created specifically as a Korean American successor to the Hulk, so his character's race is actually important. Johnny Storm's whiteness isn't indicative of a cultural background nor does it play into his upbringing or personality. When Falcon became the new Captain America, his blackness was an integral part of the story, but he could work as a Mexican or Arab and keep those same plot points and themes in tact. Magneto's background informs his character, but his Judiasm isn't necessary to have the same exact ideals in place. In fact his Judiasm wasn't even touched on for over a decade after his inception.

It's definitely splitting hairs though and a better example would be Shang-Chi instead of Cho
