I realize that it's usually bigger news when the media makes mistakes regarding race than when they are actually trying to improve things and increase diversity. This is why I really like this article from Comics Alliance. It's a count down of things Marvel and DC have done to try to bring diversity to the comics Industry. They indeed some times does somethings right. It points out a couple of things I hadn't thought about - Wolverine's son is half-Japanese and Batman's son is part Arabic. I had not really thought of it that way before. And it is true Marvel has invested a lot in Black Panther -determined to make it work. Marvel and DC are trying and it is commendable
