Marvel and all movies can do better as far as diversity. Latins, Asians and Arabs/Persians are still getting the shaft heavy. Even productions that are so-called sensitive to diversity think it just means Black people and women.

Black People and Black actors campaign HARD for themselves and other black people to be given access to roles, I don't think anyone would deny this.

The problem I have is Asians or any other races not doing the same and then complaining about their lack of representation. Closed mouths don't get fed, and when money is on the line, time and resources are limited. As much as I'd like to see more roles and opportunities for other races, I'd be lying if I didn't have my own race and own personal agendas as priority first. You don't see Asians, Hispanics or Indians campaign as hard for themselves as Black people do, and how often are they fighting alongside of blacks for their position? Did you see any Asians, Hispanics or the like back up against the Oscar controversy over the whitewashing there?

If people aren't willing to fight or stand up for themselves, why do they expect anyone else to do it for them? Black people at least understand this and take a stand at almost every opportunity. If other races aren't doing the same, they shouldn't be surprised when this kind of things happen to them.
