>>109396885The really bad aspect is how *clearly* patronizing this particular blackwashing is.
Its literally a last-minute change to the character to fulfill some perceived black quota. Other times, writers will say how they have a detailed plan where the swapping isn't just pandering but is important to the story. There is no way to spin this one, it is nothing but pandering. Even worse, the first couple of issues are likely already in the pipe, all they're changing is Garth's head, there will be zero characterization change.
This is the representation that minorities want and accept? Would you really accept a colorization of Seinfeld or Friends, change all their faces to black or asian but have them keep behaving as the whitest bunch of assholes you've ever seen?
