    I have a feeling it won't matter how many sources you provide.

    I don't know why people get so up in arms over silly stuff like this though. If there was a movie company in Japan, China, Russia, Africa, Germany,,,,,wherever, and they had nothing but white Americans being portrayed as the bad guys, my give a **** meter would still be on zero. People need to have thicker skin than trying to find something to get butthurt about.

    So ... with Diamondback getting a power upgrade from the crazy doctor, could Weaver be a Serpent Society character? Maybe they'll be the big bad for Defenders instead of the Hand? Or maybe with the Hand?

    I really dont get how ninjas being asian is offensive. The problem is there are almost no Asian leads in hollywood, and not alot of big supporting roles. I always found it weird how underrepresented asian are in hollywood outside kung fu movies. I mean as far as racists go in america there are groups of people they hate alot more then asians. Blacks and Jewish people probaly top the list for most hate groups(historically, muslims and mexicans are getting alot of attention now) they have way better representation then people of asian decent. Is there any theorys on why asians get the short stick as far as minorities go?
