Look, I'm not saying I don't want to see characters of color.

I just don't understand why y'all can't create original characters instead of race switching existing ones just for the sake of artificial diversity. Are we saying Hollywood writers are that unoriginal and hacky?

As long as no one pretends them changing the skin color means anything, either pro or anti, I don't really care.. I just won't watch a recap lol

The moment someone says it's good or bad that's when it becomes more complicated.

@MartinTheFirst I don't like the idea of changing the race of an established character that's been around for a long time. Whether the original character was white, black, or purple with green polka dots, is irrelevant. Changing that detail of a character for no other reason than to do so strikes me as dumb.

@LordShadowfire yeah but the reason why we're talking about it is because people had stupid reasons for doing so, not just because the objective fact that they changed it... See, it gets complicated
