I see your point. All Cyborg was used for during his HUGE push was being ripped apart, comics and animation always did that to him. That’s definitely not appealing. But it’s not like he’s the only Black member of the Titans. Why not champion for Bumblebee? Static? Mal Duncan? Natasha Irons? Aqualad? Kid Flash? Tanya Spears? Hotspot? Djiinn?
If the character is a colorful alien, literally any race can play them.
