This is great and all but is this the only effort DC Comics is gonna show these characters in 2018 b/c if so this is the bare minimum of what should be done with these characters.
B/c when talking about minorities people usually are only discussing racial minorities not religious minorities.
And before someone says that Jewish people are racial minorities as well, not in the United States they're not, in the United States, you're steretypical jewish person looks white, and most likely ticks the box that says "white (non-hispanic)"
Saying all of that tho if they included Supergirl of all people into the story, they could have afforded to add some Jewish heroes, I mean seriously Supergirl ...I scoff.
The Io9 comment section for the article about this miniseries were naming a few.
Does DC comics have alien characters who doesn't look white or how about an alien character who can't make themselves look human, to me they would be more deserving of that spot than Supergirl.
Also Supergirl being well known is irrelevant b/c most minority heroes aren't well known and if that status mattered for this book then DC should have included Cyborg and if he is in the book, then he should have been mentioned but obviously him being well known does not matter so neither does Supergirl.
Her being female is also a non-factor Vixen's female too and so is Renee.
Her religion while real in the comics is fake, and would be an allegory for Jewish or even Muslim individuals but why do an allegory for religious discrimination or struggle when you can have a Jewish character or a Muslim character like Simon.
Same thing if we use Supergirl as an immigrant allegory, why use her when there are probably minority characters DC has more than likely kept on the shelf that can give that story.
So I scoff b/c she sticks out like a sore thumb, if DC Comics doesn't have a non-humanoid alien character then I guess that's why she's here.
Can't agree more...
