The same things happen to white characters as happen to black characters... but somehow one is character development and the other is racism...
The very argument that Cyborg being a black character 'doesn't count' or 'isn't black enough' because he isn't having sex with everyone is just insane. And honestly, if Johns told Ray that... i'd still back Johns. If Johns was backing the need for cyborg to be 'intact'... then i'd back Ray.
It's part of what makes cyborg characters so tragic... the knowledge that they were human, but now... aren't. ugghh....
