Yup.. And considering storm is a black character that impacts all of those areas this is the place to have said discussion safely and freely. I'm all for it...
Now we need to force Marvel to give us some news on this solo. It's been nearly 5 months since it was announced. They have to know something by now right?

They don't have to be, but they should stay relatively consistent with how they were originally depicted unless they're from another Earth or something. Isn't there a whole skin whitening industry in the Philippines? If there was a character who was originally shown with darker skin and then years later show to have gotten lighter, wouldn't that play into that industry?

Racism as it exist here in America relating to black people is not equivalent to whatever colorism exist in the Phillipines (not that it doesn't matter) so I can understand the posters ignorannce of the relevancy and the importance of colorism. However, this ignorance should not be encouraged and hopefully more discussion and exposure to ideas will help everyone see its importance and value. What I find interesting is that the struggles of black persons around the world and racist attitudes they experienced are something that is now being challenged in a large part because of the black panther movie. The ideas that women and men who are black and dark not being beautiful is changing as evident by some interviews of Korean people after seeing black panther and this is beyond an amazing thing.

I felt bad for her bc she was put on the spot and I have no clue if she's colored Sunspot in the past but one of her excuses for that was weak. She said soemthing may have been lost in translation from the computer screen to print. I could get that if we are talking purple coming out more lavendar but not a dark skin character looking Caucasion
