>Both are space cops who happen to be Mexican
>Both are written to be white as fuck
Why do comic book writers make these two so white?

White-passing Latinos are a thing. Especially if they're Castizos like Kyle.

Probably because Kyle Rayner had no Mexican ancestry originally and it was retconned in by a later writer.
Also he was raised by his Irish-American mother in America, why would he be dropping retarded spanglish slang out of nowhere?

Sam is basically a corpse doll of a real world white kid and Kyle existed for more than a decade before they decided to make him half beanfolk.

Written to be white? What do you mean? Do you mean not a hilariously absurd stereotype?

Would you prefer if they both spoke fluent English, yet forcefully seasoned their sentences by throwing in a “hombre”, “niña”, or “amigo” to remind the audience that they are Mexican, even though no fucking Mexican who speaks fluent English talks that way?

A la verga!

>why aren't they flying around with mustaches and sombreros and shooting energy tacos at villains

Probably because they were born in the US and have grown up mostly with that culture. Happens to plenty of children and grandchildren of immigrants.

Different anon. I'm not saying they should do that, in fact I find it kinda retarded that Kyle was made Mexican through a retcon.

That said, I really enjoyed the way Bane talked in Arkham Origins. Fluent English, but with a heavy accent and occasional words like "peyso" or whatever the fuck means "clown" in his language.

Ignoring that Sam is explicitly biracial, you don't need to be a Spanish-spouting Holy Menstruator to be a certain race. I really like how Sam isn't stereotypical or cliche about his heritage.

Mexicans are Spanish/Native mixes, buddy. They have more than a little native.

Not all of them. Particularly the more wealthy Mexicans didn't intermix with the native populations as much or at all and are usually whiter than the poorer Mexicans that come to America.

For the longest time I could've swore Kyle was half-Asian. Not that it matters, he was born and raised in America around Americans with his white as fuck mom. If anything Kyle speaking Spanish in Omega Men was out of place for his character
