Miles Morales has to be half-black and half-Latino because supposedly non-Latino-white-people are the minority in NYC
I don't have a problem with a half-black/half-Latino superhero, i just had a problem with the half-black/half-latino guy
replacing the dead white guy,
they could have just had Miles Morales walking around with spider powers while peter was still alive (like 616 did with ben rielley and Kaine Parker)
they could have had Miles replace peter in the spider costume just as a
temporary thing like when Jean Paul Valley was Batman for a year when Bruce broke his back, or when Iron Fist put on Daredevil's costume while Matt Murdoch was in Federal custody)
and they could have just retired the spiderman identity when Parker Died like the Ultimates Universe had done with all the double-identity characters that had died in the Ultimatum wave,
but instead of doing any of these things, they had a black/latino guy just
replace the dead white guy, which was nothing more than a publicity stunt to get blacks and latinos to read superhero comics, that's what all the people got upset about
the newest version of Alan Scott is gay, despite the previous version getting married twice and fathering 2 children with his first wife
i have no problem with the way that Marvel had Northstar come out of the closet and have a homosexual marriage, that was okay because he had always looked gay anyway
but in his previous incarnation Alan Scott's 2 children (from his first marriage) grow up, get superpowers, become superheros (complete with double identities) and then those 2 adult superhero children bitch about how they don't like their brand-new step-mom because she used to be a supervillian
so, what happens with all these characters now that Alan Scott is gay??
Kyle Rayner and Jaime Reyes are Hispanic because all the illegal immigrants in USA are coming from "Latin America"
there was nothing wrong with Hal Jordan or Ted Kord, Kyle and Jaime were just created to try to get Hispanic people to read superhero comics
Black Vulcan, Black Lightning, Black Panther, Static, John Stewart, and all the other black hero characters in superhero comics were made as a direct result of the NAACP bitching about all the superheros being white
