And you obviously didn't even read the Aaron interview because in said interview he discusses much more than just "Thor" being female:
----------
"With that in mind, it sounds like this new "Thor" volume will have all of the action fans of your run love, but it will also feature a mystery and quite a bit of political intrigue. Is that accurate?
AARON: Absolutely, yes. There's certainly a lot of intrigue and dark maneuvering between all of these different realms that is very clearly building towards some kind of massive conflict. We're starting to see different realms align. We saw Malekith, the king of the Dark Elves, broker a deal with the Frost Giants, and we'll start to see the fruits of that collaboration. We'll start to see some other characters join that cabal as well; characters both new and old.
So in the coming months we'll see the return of some familiar villains from Thor's past. That means this new Thor will certainly have her hands full and will have no shortage of people lining up to take her on including at some point, as you might expect, the previous version of Thor..."

At this point it is obvious that you are just reaching for some reason -- any reason -- to be "right", even to the point of blatantly ignoring facts (the Colbert interview was NOT about "all about race" no matter how much you say otherwise and announcing a female Thor on The View is in no way "sexist" to anyone who understands what sexism really is all about).
Ultimately, the bottom line is this: Marvel is not "trying too hard" to make changes that should have been made decades ago. Maybe you don't agree with how they are going about it and that is fine. But that's not the issue here because maybe you're not the one that they are marketing to with these television interviews and character changes.
Which is exactly the point -- this isn't about you and maybe that's what upsets you (and others like you) even though you can't truly explain why. Claiming that you don't want to see any mention of race or gender is a cop-out -- race and gender issues exist and covering your eyes and ears will not make them go away. Quite the contrary, these things need to be discussed openly because true "equality" is still just a vision, rather than reality.
As everyone has already pointed out, it's funny how this kind of marketing was never considered (negative) "pandering" until the characters in question weren't white males anymore.
At the end of the day, that's probably the real issue here: despite any arguments to contrary, nothing changes the reality of that observation because said observation is really what's at the heart of this entire discussion.
