They're really going with Iris being a black woman now

They made her black in the live action TV series and continuing with it. The open racism against whites, specifically replacing red haired characters does not stop.

Agreed.

African Americans are less than 15% of the population so of course they need 30% representation in media.

80% in commercials, and of course literal historical white characters now need to be made black.

This really makes me mad. They are destroying their own lore. And they could not be bothered in creating new black characters. Race swapping characters should be illegal in the comic book world.

"And they could not be bothered in creating new black characters."

But that would involve doing the hard work and creating something original. It's much easier, and lazier, to simply piggyback onto someone else's hard work and talent and claim it as their own.
