Cmon this is a cart before the horse argument- ‘a black qb won’t work bc all the best QBs are white’
60s & 70s saw a proliferation of straight white make heroes bc that’s who was telling the stories and the made heroes in their demo for an audience they assumed looked like them (but later found that the audience was broader than they assumed)
So the overwhelming storylines to pull from are from this era
Had that era been more diverse and inclusive there’d be more diverse and inclusive heroes- it wasn’t
We are now in a (theoretically) more diverse and inclusive era - the heroes should reflect that
And i categorically rebuff a ‘what about squirrel girl?’ argument as non-serious
