He explained why the new bi-racial Spider-Man can be attributed to Michelle Obama.

Bi-racial? Um...

Anyway, I think a black-hispanic Spiderman is an AWESOME idea, and no, I'm not biased.

I am, and I still think it's awesome!!

...oh for fuck's sweet sake. The shrieking and pearl-clutching over Spiderman being a person of color is just...I fucking can't with people. Some of the comments neckbeards are leaving on various articles are brain-melting.

i'm appalled at how much self-awareness people lack that they can't see how racist wanting a CARTOON to be white instead of a POC is. how do they explain that away in a way that makes them feel like they aren't racist. IDEK

celtic_thistle August 3 2011, 21:12:59 UTC

Well see, it's white people who are victims of racism these days! POC already run everything so it's really oppression to take this character away from the poor white people :(((((((((((((((((((((

I can't wait to see this new Spiderman. I think it's an awesome idea. We've had multiple Green Lanterns, Robins, etc etc, why should Spidey be exempt?

Also, if this was inspired by Daniel Glover's campaign to be Spiderman, that would make it 100% more amazing.

tartary_lamb August 3 2011, 20:29:00 UTC

It is, actually. One article I read quoted Brian Michael Bendis as saying it was seeing Daniel Glover in Spiderman pajamas on Community that gave him the inspiration for the character.

(Donald Glover)

Anyway Glover tweeted Bendis about it saying it was awesome and Bendis tweeted him back, is very cool. #donaldforspiderman

Or, if you could only pull your head out of your ass and look around for five seconds, Mr. Beck, you'd note that the majority demographic of this country is changing and popular culture is reflecting that change.

But you're right, God for-fucking-bid there be a non-white superhero.
