I'd be much more interested in a mutant civil war than World War X, which feels like something too tempting to not do
At the very, very least, the way it was phrased in the original post was phrased extremely poorly. It's phrased in a way that reads at best like randomly mentioning something completely unrelated, at worst like being Black is somehow a mark against the character. So if nothing else, it's a good example of the need to be careful about what and how certain things are mentioned.

A yes the endless X-fandom ritual of insinuating people who don't like (insert storyline, plot element, application of the "mutant metaphor", or character here) must be a bigot. It's why I came here because it's all X-Twitter ever does
lol racist X-Men fans. One of the internet's most confounding oxymorons.
He's black and he's on the team. Deal with it.
Damn we really do havea bunch of debbie downers for a title that doesn't come out for a few more months.
But eh its what xmen fans are known for yay
I'm sold on this line-up...happy it's not the usual crutch of the original 5 or the Giant-Sized crew. Happy to see Polaris and especially Sunfire onboard (hoping his costume is his original one and not some Age of Apocalypse garbage). This'll be the first X-book I pick up since Hickman took the reins.
The members I like on the new X-Men team
Scott
Jean
Polaris
Rogue
The members that is neutral for me
Sunfire
The members that I don't like
Copycat 'Wolverine' should be replaced with the real Wolverine.
Synch should be replaced with Banshee. (the runner-up of the voting election)

I agree with you.
It seems that they wanted one black person (Synch) on the X-Men team since Storm couldn't make it because she's on the Quiet Council.
Most relationship don't last in Marvel, so his relationship with Laura ain't the reason, Laura can be paired with other people.
Then they also wanted one Asian X-Man which would be Sunfire instead of Iceman.

Let's just hope the author can make something out of this bland team roster....
...Storm or M should be here!
Everybody is so intrigued by the basicness of the character selection that nobody speaks about those weird space monkeys. lol
maybe Duggan was only allowed to use the characters all the other writers do not want to write?

This is the absolute perfect post. Rogue is a popular character, Bishop and Storm is the only two "popular" black characters therefore they should have been used. If you don't use a character how do they become popular? Let's keep putting the popular characters in the biggest stories with the best artist and never let the smaller characters get that chance. It is self-fulling prophecy of the X-men franchise you have to put popular characters in the book. But if you never get in the biggest books and used in biggest events you never become popular.
If Gerry Duggan does a good job with book itself and Synch and Sunfire what will Synch and Sunfire be at the end of the run? A POPULAR CHARACTER.
You want Cyclops, Jean Grey, Laura, Polaris, Rogue.. Replace Sunfire with Iceman...Replace Synch with Banshee. The vaunted accidentally not forced in any way all white X-men team.
