Alright, /co/. Let's do some roleplaying. No, not that kind.
Let's say you have a job at Marvel and want very much to keep it. Your boss tells you to replace/reboot an old character that people recognize, but with some sort of ethnicity or modern hook. For every Riri Williams, there is potentially a Jaime Reyes.
You have 2 minutes to submit an outline or idea, and you get a raise if you can get a plausible writer/artist combo that will sell.

Dia de los Muertos Joker.
I like it.
Go away /pol/
It's obvious what you're doing—get some of us to suggest replacing an old favorite with a new ethnic character, then scream that we're SJWs.
Let's keep the old classics and introduce some new ethnic characters to go with them. The world is big enough for all.

Stardust
Alteration is now he only hunts down alt-right fascists, and he does things like change their gender/race/sexuality or cripples them because they're ableists.
Mark Waid / Erica Henderson

I bring in a poster with as many characters as I can from the company into the room.
I throw at a dart at the poster without looking
"Hispanic Teen Living in a border state, It's highshool Drama comic book, like spiderman or archie with superpowers."
Turn around and see what I just pitched.
Thor is replaced by a horse faced alien from SPACE!!! Trust me it'll be fantastic.

But Bill is objectively better than Thor. Either Thor.

Black Widow is now literally black. It's like a 70s blaxploitation/spy thing where she teams up with the Soviets to beat down the evil white capitalist man. Her sidekick is Black Hawkeye, who's in the Nation of Islam and wears one of those little bow ties.
