Except for the race changes i don't see a difference between these and the new designs.race change isn't a big deal for me. So, i don't mind if they are black or all white or mixed with varied ethnicities . Korath was saying they all are great now, since they don't look human. But, they don't look nonhuman even now. If he was insinuating other races are non human. then we got a problem and i don't agree with that. Since, i will be part of those.
And i know chameleon boy changes his appearance like manhunter to fit in. Most immigrants do that. For example, you don't see Scotsmen wearing their traditional kilt, an indian(country) wearing their dhoti or japanese wearing their kimono.. Etc all the time in America do you?no, they wear western clothes. But, they keep some parts of their culture by wearing some symbols like a bindi or sometimes some sort of hats.. Etc. And in some special occasions they wear their traditional clothings. Sikhs might be the only one's whose wardrobe, how they look are important. It is part of who they are fundamentaly and tied to their philosophy . So, they wear their turbans, kara(bracelet) , uncut hair.. Etc no matter where they go and what they do. So, chameleon boy changing his appearance is well within reason like manhunter.
Personally, This diversity thing sometimes feels like a circus that promotes another kind of racism and Bigotry. It basically "Oh! Look an asian, look!look! an indian. Yes we are diverse we got a black". It's great an all that they are making diverse group of characters. but, i don't feel its genuine sometimes. It feels like a phase or people showing of how culturally sensitive they are.They don't even portay the characters with those backgrounds sometimes in great way. But, hey! That is just me. It is getting political. I didn't want it to. Sorry about that.
