I could understand this argument if we are talking Kitty Pryde ( Jewish), Michelle Gonzalez ( Latina) or Silk (Asian). Throw in the fact that the plan from Marvel was for Pete to end up with MJ ( reread the underrated ASM 122 and you see how she was there for him). It did not matter if the political beliefs belonged to Ditko, Lee, or Conway, once Gwen was killed, it took only one issue for MJ to stop playing party girl, and to start to become what Jarvis put best: She is "Indispensible" She was when Pete needed her in ASM 122, she still is needed today, which is a big reason why I despise OMD the way that I do, and really hope she is back for good..
