Without a doubt, there were exceptions. But that's what they were. Exceptions and not the rule. And as you yourself wrote, in the Philippines the policy of miscegenation through intermarriage was...

Well, I based what I wrote, on the thesis on this subject, written by a college professor who is a friend of my family. As he did a thorough research in Portugal and Spain, to write his thesis,...

Furthermore, these two scenes, that emphasize the physical similarity between Tony and Morgan Stark, are a perfect example of why the adoption retcon makes no sense.

This one comes from Iron-Man #...

I would say it's just as bad, and only reinforces my point that there is work behind the scenes at Marvel, to "clean up" their characters.

Oh, now I understand where the root of our disagreement is! It is a cultural problem.

In countries colonized by Spanish or Portuguese, the natives only had their first names changed when they...

(3) was not debunkedl, simply because Carbonell is not a name. It is, a surname. Surnames are, indicators of ethnicity or race. The character's name is Maria. Her surname is Carbonell.

In...

What??? When did that happened?

Yes, and I thank you for that! You opened the interesting possibility that the surname Carbonell was also a retcon. It doesn't change my opinion, that retconning Tony's parents was racist. But it´s...

Thank you very much again Mr. Busiek! Since you don't know, I suppose that the most likely explanation, is that Kavanagh was the first writer who gave her a surname, otherwise, I’m sure you would...

I ignored it for a while, until I started to bother with it again. That's because, I sincerely believe, that this retcon was not motivated by creative decisions, but by racism. And that is something...

Hello Mr. Buziek. Thanks for taking the time to post here. Let me clarify, why I started this thread.

I created this thread, to vent my outrage at the retcon that replaced Tony Stark's Latin...

A debate that you will lose, because it is written in the same caption box, that Carbonell is Maria Stark's maiden name.

It's right there. In. The. Same. Caption. Box.

Are you kidding me? Or did you just read the part that interests you, and ignored the part where, literally, in the same caption box, it is written that Carbonell is Tony's mother's maiden name?

Do you know what else is also a recipe for disaster? Ignore reality. Read here what Antonio Banderas, who is European, has to say about it.




Don't misunderstand me. I don't think you are...

And I, was talking specifically about South Americans. But you know that. But you just pretend otherwise, because you know you have no arguments to contest me.

Thank you very much, for finding this. That's exactly, what I'm talking about.

For those born in Europe, this may even be a thing of the past. But for South Americans, it is very much a thing of the present.

If you don't consider Latino a different race, you are absolutely correct, but I have to say, that you are wrong to think, that this is the prevailing view in the United States.

My husband and I...

It’s not necessary that hearing this made me feel down. In fact, I felt bad for that child. Because, as a friend of mine who is an educator says, children are weekend adults. That is, they behave...

Do you mean, then, that when prejudice is directed towards Latinos, it is not racism? Are you sure about that? Because when I started talking to the daughter of one of my neighbors, she looked at me...

Very nice to know! I have never been to London, but my father-in-law lived there for a few years when he was young, and liked it very much. Certainly, all the people from the U.K. that I met in the...

Maria Stark was established as a latina woman in Iron Man Volume 3 issue # 30, published in 2000.

You can be absolutely sure, that I do realize just how freaking racist this entire mindset is. I am perfectly aware of this, because I have lived it myself, for all six years that I lived in the...

Was that really the first time that her surname was named in continuity? It would be interesting to know that for sure, because when I started collecting Iron Man, after I moved to the U.S., I was...
