Post-March 2021 DC Titles

It depends - the US Census Bureau for example classifies people of Middle Eastern or North African descent as white.

Somalis still get put down as caucasian in some places in the US so... Neither of those categories are really races anyway. It's like calling Latino a race.

Americans treat race rather strangely. But being White and being Asian are not mutually exclusive. An Asian is anyone from an Asian ethnic group.

Asians are not just East Asians. Central Asians like the Kazakhs, Uzbeks etc, and Middle Easterners like Arabs, Israelis and Kurds are just as Asian as the Chinese and Japanese. Thus Damian would qualify. As would other middle easterners such as Simon Baz. A criticism of the book could be an East Asian centric approach. India is in asia and I do not see a single Indian character in the book sadly. Don't get me wrong though! I am still incredibly hyped! very much looking forward to it!

There are plenty of 'white' Asian people groups - Armenians, Georgians, Finno Ugric peoples native to Siberia etc.

Indians aren’t “Asian” in the USA, we consider those a separate group. “Asians” for us is just the politically correct way of referring to the so-called “yellow” race: Ethnic Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Thai, Singaporean, basically that specific phenotype doesn’t have an agreed upon name so “Asian” is what we call them. Yes it’s dumb, but that’s how America operates.

I don't see whats dumb about it. If you count in Arabs and whites from South Caucasus as "Asians" then that term is meaningless. After all there is a reason why Arab countries are usually refereed to as "Middle East" and not "South Western Asia".

Well, historically speaking, it's stranger to call people from China, Korea, Mongolia, etc. Asian, since Asia was a word created to describe the current Anatolia and Near/Middle East during Antiquity (that's mostly trolling of course)

India's next to china and is very diverse.

Dan Watters has another DC project coming: https://twitter.com/danpgwatters/sta...620579841?s=21

Really enjoyed his FS and B&R stories so I’m excited for this.

I know but Americans in general are pretty ignorant of what countries beyond our borders are like.

I found that out aside from solicit, which is more for stores, is from Josh Will's tweet. The DC social media only announce the titles once the preview is out.

Yeah I know, but its odd when the first issue is out basically late next week/two weeks away (its on a Sunday, hard to call)

Yea, they really butchered the announcement for this series, the article you originally posted about it back in March just said it would be digital first starting in late April as a throwaway line.

Jeff Parker will be contributing to the unannounced Aquaman 80th anniversary special per Bleeding Cool.

Aquaman first appeared in More Fun Comics #73, cover-dated November 1941 and with an on-sale date of September 19, 1941 (according to the GCD). So maybe as we get closer to the September solicitations DC will say something?
