I don't understand why no one is getting offended by this, they take one of the most developed Hispanic characters DC ever made a culturally appropriate her and make her black? Isn't the point of progression to make thing more diverse not less?
I don't understand why no one is getting offended by this...
>I don't understand why no one is getting offended by this,
My life isn’t that shallow
There should be several catwoman characters, all of them being sexy thiefs, also make them a multi ethnic group with a white,black,latina and asian
Cat-woman and her kittens.
That's kinda cute.
>Hispanic
Cubans are south americans
>Black woman
>Is a thief
Very racist.
>Catwoman is just, solely, exclusively, only a thief
I thought Yas Forums doesn't read comics was just a meme....
Shes also a massive whore.
>they take one of the most developed Hispanic characters DC ever made a culturally appropriate her and make her black?
Blacks can be Hispanic.
>I don't understand why no one is getting offended by this
Get a life.
>I don't understand why no one is getting offended by this
She still hot.
No they can't Yas Forumsmblr. Latino is a race you dumb cuck. God I can't wait until we deport you 13%ers
...
Are you functionally retarded?
Or is this more jidf turn the goyim against each other shit?
>Shekelberg falseflagging
Alright bud. It's ok to admit you are wrong.
Nice
Ahem
>uses pic of heavily shilled devicive cultural poison smade and starred by Jews
K.
>Hispanic
Huh, did not know this.
Anyway, black Catwoman was established a long time ago.
Making Selina black is fucking retarded
>Muh Ertha Kitt
Yeah we fucking know, and it's the weakest excuse I've heard. But I guess black people are really hell bent on a character that grew up in the slums and is famous for stealing shit?
Seriously though, its just stupid from a narrative standpoint. She's a Italian/Cuban mix, and both are core parts of her history. So in short, fuck your black washing, go think of your own character.
I want this
>The image you use is clearly indicative of your political views.
It isn't that deep bud. It was just a funny image to use.
to be fair 1/3 of cuba is black
I'm aware of the Italian stuff from her relationship with Falcone, I'm aware of black stuff from Eartha Kitt and Halle Berry.
When did she become Latino?
Latina?
Never.
Shes a ha km fired bastard of a white and some Italian gangster
>go think of your own character so i can proceed to whune about that too.
FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME!!!! SHE IS OF ITALIAN DESCENT!!!
>culturally Hispanic
No one fucking knows that Selina is Hispanic at times. She’s usually depicted as white.
Thank you for not having brain worms
Shes Italian user.
And? 98% of Catwoman's appearances have her with a white skin tone. In fact the only people who want black Selina are insecure casuals too lazy to look up good black characters that already exist.
Nice strawman. I don't hate black characters, I have a problem with pandering to faggots who don't even read comics.
>She’s usually depicted as white.
Hispanic can be white. Seriously, Americans need to figure out race a little better, because we seem to be using the word "Hispanic" to mean "Mestizo". Hispanic just relates to the Spanish language, and in this case, means someone from Spanish-speaking countries. They can be Black, White, predominantly native American, whatever. The countries south of the USA are actually very diverse. Objecting to Selina being Black or White based on the idea that "She's Hispanic" is dumb.
the mind eye of gringos doesn't really recognize any race that isn't white or black. they just see them as "in the way"
mestizo is a race dumbass, latino is a culture.
Not him but I think the point we're driving at is that making Selina black is a stretch and isn't supported by her character history, only serving to pander to whiny closet racists too lazy to look up other well written characters that just happen to be black.
In Mexico, cuban accent is used for black characters, doesn't make sense nowadays, most Cuban migrants are very white looking
Latino is legally not a race, the fucking census even says that
>Not him but I think the point we're driving at is that making Selina black is a stretch
It's not.
>and isn't supported by her character history
It is, easily.
Terrible bait, stupid white person, or genuinely retarded Hispanic who's never been to a Hispanic country? Your pick.
Most Cuban migrants in AMERICA are white looking/white, but Cubans are more diverse in reality.
So is this like a thing where black people try and claim ownership of other cultures or something? Because I thought you guys peaked after the "black people were pharaohs of Egypt" thing. So not only do you want to call dibs on inventing slavery, you desperately want to be represented by a known criminal famous for growing up on the streets and stealing shit? Forgive me if I'm overstepping myself but.....I don't think anybody thought this through
See
and that should clear everything up.
Eartha Kitt has always been the best portrayal of the character so I'm always happy to see any chocolate Salina's
why the fuck should i care when half the time you can only see parts of skin
besides, my penis doesn't mind racebending
What I see is someone going to great lengths to justify a stupid change no one asked for except stupid SJWs. But what the fuck do I know? I only read comics and acknowledge years of history. I'd be just as mad if you tried to make Blade white, or Black Manta Chinese.
Hispanics can be black
>spoiler
And yet if you make Selina black, she'll never be recognized as Cuban or Italian, which both are important. The minute change her, she's black. End of story. It stops being about her true heritage and more about pulling the fucking race card bitching about oppression
You're just someone who doesn't understand the racial makeup of Hispanic countries and are throwing out random complaints regarding a character's race like "We wuz" and "Hispanics aren't black" or "This racial portrayal doesn't have a legacy in the character's history" or "It's offensive to black people." And while all of these continue to be disproved in various ways, hispanic people can be black, black people haven't largely complained, the first casting of a black woman as Catwoman was decades ago, etc. you're avoiding the final true reason it bothers you, because a character that you have seen portrayed white is also sometimes portrayed as Black, and it's happening a little more frequently. Racial panic, that's all this is.
> It stops being about her true heritage and more about pulling the fucking race card bitching about oppression
give me 10 reasons why i should i care so much about her race and how it plays a factor into her character
The U.S. Census Bureau defines Hispanic as "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race" so you are correct but also no.
Oh I don't deny Hispanics can be black, never did.
> you're avoiding the final true reason it bothers you, because a character that you have seen portrayed white is also sometimes portrayed as Black
You mean a grand total of 3 appearances when compared to 80 years of her being portrayed as white? I have no problems with black characters, user. What I have a problem with is ignoring decades of canon and imagery for the sake of, what, a bunch of whiny closet racists who can feel good about themselves for a laughable and outright offensive take on what they call representation?
Here's the real reason why you can't make Selina Kyle, or Clark Kent, or any prominently portrayed white character black; it does unfortunately change their character and their history. How? Now they have to deal with racism, and unfortunately truth. It then becomes this big elephant in the room that once started, quickly becomes another preachy "muh oppression" dead horse the character never had to deal with previously. In Selina's case it sends the wrong message. People with dark skin aren't the only ones who face hard times. You make Selina black, you're basically saying its the real reason why she was scourging to survive as a child, which is simply bullshit. Suffering and hard times aren't government strictly by skin color, and you're a racist if you think otherwise. I'm all about equality, I just don't think black characters should need to piggyback off the success of white ones, nor do I believe black characters need to play the victim.
Steel? Great character, admirable, don't give a shit that he's black. All I care about his that he's his own man who tried to fill Superman's shoes after he died.
>She’s usually depicted as white.
She's Cuban Irish user, that's what Irish genes do to you.
She's Cuban/Italian you fool.
fpbp
Eartha Kitt was not Selina Kyle
The Julie Newmar Catwoman in season 1 and 2 was identified as being Selina Kyle.
Eartha Kitt must be someone else who took over the mantle.
Prove me wrong.
Oh I was reading off the new earth version of her from the wiki, alright then she's Latin/Italian then.
>she'll never be recognized as Cuban or Italian,
Afro-cubans AND afro-italians are a thing.
Then what about Lee Meriweather?
Prove yourself right.
>she'll never be recognized as Cuban
Shut the fuck up.
Could be a either a temp recast of Selina, or another woman taking the mantle in between Selina and Eartha's catwoman, whichever works for you. I actually prefer the later. Maybe Miss Kitka is actually her real identity and she was actually a Russian agent impersonating Catwoman as a cover.
The Season 1 and 2 Catwoman (and the one in the movie) was white.
The Eartha Kit one in season 3 was black.
Visual evidence would be in my favor
