Note....they built an Artificial Intelligence routine to read 100 books looking for characters that weren’t specifically described as white. This wasn’t just something PR people did.
BUT - how is this different than changing the color or gender of Super Heroes? Captain Marvel anyone? Or how about re appropriating the Iron Fist with an Asian actor (as some clamored for)?
But the real travesty is that Black History month is supposed to be about bringing to light the REALITY that blacks have already played important and prominent roles in history....and to tell THOSE stories that have been neglected compared to white historical persons.
