What are your thoughts on representation?

>Why it's an agenda
Because black people with an axe to grind want to hate on white people. Same as it always was.

But the rest of your post spells out my point: representation is fundamentally a racist preoccupation that would be better off ignored.

It alright

>Majority culture is ebul because they like seeing members of their own culture
It'd be odd if this didn't apply equally in the other direction.

It seems you're admitting that "representation" has little to do with parity and more to do with in-group preference, in which case it doesn't really matter who the majority or minority culture is, since they'll gravitate to their own regardless.

Now make an argument that a majority culture has a responsibility to make a minority culture visible and we'll have something interesting. But right now you're not saying anything important - blacks like blacks, whites like whites. Natural, normal, nothing to see here.

>Imagine you have a media landscape that has no representation of men at all. They just don't happen on your screen.
I'd likely do what literally everyone else does, did, and will continue to do - tell stories with my friends. Why should I care what's on my TV?

I was indifferent to a diverse cast before, but now that non-white, non-heterosexual characters have been universally declared the harbingers of a very particular side of the political compass I no longer support them.

>b-but tolerance

You started the identity politics war, not me. I'm just picking the side that actually benefits me as a straight white male.

But america isn't all one race like chinese and Russians. Media goes both ways because media is created by people with their own views and perspectives that is based on both their own lives and media THEY have grown up with. It's a cycle in that regard.

For you second paragraph, see As for going back generations, it is relavant because it explains why things are the way they are today. What I'm getting at is because of all this representation, even the dumb agenda shit, it still has a positive impact on the people going forward. You have less racist people in our generation (Gen Y) than the previous ones partially because we grew up with burger king kids tier cartoons and Nickelodeon/Disney lives action shows that had one of each race as thier main characters vs our granparents growing up with the Andy Griffin Show and Leave it to Beaver which were mostly all white. Gen Alpha is going to be even more accepting because of the representation and so on if we keep this pattern up.

I said Miles would allow for these kinds of discussion, simply making a black character does mean you as a non black person can't see yourself in him. And it doesn't mean a black latino would necessarily see themselves in Miles. But from a writer's perspective it let's you dive into themes that would be played out for any other superhero comic, but can be given deeper context and perspective.

I don't like whites, media without them in it is automatically better

You have said nothing of substance. What "deeper context and perspective" is revealed with Miles than wasn't present elsewhere? Please keep your answer to black latinos only, that's the only way this conversation is designed to work.
