So Dceased is back and the first issue was great. The Alfred and Damian scene really got to me.
Damian has a lot of bad hateful stuff said about him. Saying he should be darker isn't one of them.
however it's insane how some fans disregard his Asian/Caucasian side. Like those fan castings that suggest Arabic actors for Damian. That is racist.
Damian isn't white washed. Yeah some of us wish he was canonically darker [consistently] but he doesn't have to be.
Damian isn't 100% Asian.
Damian isn't 100% Middle Eastern.
Damian is mixed.
Damian is canonically a carbon copy of bruce. There's nothing wrong with a visibly Brown Damian just like there's not wrong with a Damian that passes.
both are valid.
The problem might be representation. Damian is mixed. There 4 groups that want to claim him and those 4 groups have distinct looks/pigmentations.

I am saying something Damian having Dark skin??? NO.
Just saying that I see ridiculous see fans showing damian images and crying in twitter because the character is not like in that comic. Before Wayne Adventures I never saw people that invested in his skin.
He was introduced as White Guy(even talia was white during some time).. Do not say something like that he was White Washed just for that comic. Also he has mixed heritage. I saw persons saying that is not impossible that he has not his mother dark skin. Not only American he has Chinese roots too.
People can turn really crazy for representations purpose.. Even when is not related with the character and is just because they like this character.
4 GROUPS? He is Chinese, Arab, american and... ??
About be someone darker.. I liked his skin color in Percy Teen Titans. Something that quickly changed with Glass.

What is so complicated about just coloring him brown? Mixed people can be brown or white, so why does Damian HAVE to be white and can't be brown no matter what, no exceptions? Just because his father is Bruce Wayne, who is white? You don't need to do some messed up "genetic calculus" just to justify a character being a certain color. Just do it. Let the racists die mad about it.
