What difference does it make if a hero is white, black, brown or any other color? If a change is made to the race of a hero why get upset?
No one gets upset when a character is created black or Asian or whatever.
The upset arises from the exercise of Soviet-style political correctness. The purposeful CHANGE to shove politically correct thought down people's throats.
It's like when Soviets forced prisoners to purposely identify items and people incorrectly (Yes, comrade that does look like a bed but I know that it is really a chair.)
Create Captain Liberal and make him a black transsexual pedophile and no one cares.
The point - it's not about race, it's an objection to leftist thought control.
