Why does this always happen? The less commonly represented group is always defined by their race, as if they have no other interests aside from their identity. The more we see characters who don't look like us, the more we see them as people, not as archetypes. Lets talk about non stereotypical characters!

People can complain about representation all they want, but when this guy is the only Native character, and race swapped from a white guy originally, to show up in a superhero movie, it says a lot. Wonder Woman has a native guy appearing in it but according to the leaks, it apparently a small role and he doesn't do much.

>>92031255
This isn't just restricted to ethnicity.

Essentially, the more foreign you are to the average American, the more likely you are to be a stereotype.

Russian? COMRADE VODKA MAN OF STEEL BIG GUY, SECOND NAME PROBABLY RASPUTIN.

It's just easier for bad writers to do this. It happens with locations, too. Set something in Ireland and it'll all be pastoral fields and country roads and hilly pastures. Set something in Germany and it'll look like a scenic town built by the Seven fucking Dwarves. Americans aren't really familiar with anywhere but America, and it's easier to fall back on what you know from old cartoons and random stereotypes than to actually do any research.

It took blacks a while before whitey made them more than "wat up muggafugga".

>>92033226

Hah. No.
See, it's not like we're all one culture or anything. Example; Coastal Salish did the totem pole art thing, but a lot of the Native cultures that are portrayed in the media didn't really do that at all. We mostly fished and traded and owned land exactly like white settlers did, so we sort of had more in common then say, Apache or Iroiqoius Confederacy tribes did.
We also didn't really preserve our language because a lot of it has to do with names and you'd pick different names when you got different jobs in the tribe or so I hear, so we ended up adopting Christian names cause it was easier to make white folks understand us if we just had the one.
I've MET a few guys on reservations in Arizona, and I didn't like them much. They honestly DID frequently have crappy jobs and fit into dumb stereotypes a lot.

Meanwhile I get free healthcare, good education, decent college, and a job from MY tribal affiliation.

More to it then that.
Like for example, did you know that Aztec culture had been on the DECLINE for the last hundred years when the Spanish arrived? A huge plague and cut through them (and much of the other North American people's) and really caused a lot of problems.
Since their religion said stuff like "kill people to appease the gods when shit gets rough", they kept DOING it.

>>92033913
Not the sacrifice thing, but because Aztecs even when they were more mellow were a very expansionist and aggressive tribal group. They had a whole warrior culture thing going on, and warrior cultures love to find reasons to get their war on.

I think that's kinda why Americans ostracize their own military guys actually; getting the war on is expensive and time-consuming (especially in modern day), so if you treat soldiers like disposable garbage and replace them as often as possible and don't give them good jobs or health care then they form their own little sub-culture by reflex, and sub-cultures are easy to safely ignore.
I notice other modern cultures where military service large, common, and is more tightly integrated with everyone else in society tend to be a little bit more aggressive. Israel, for example.

Evidence points to America slowly but steadily declining since the 1970's in many ways, largely due to changing economic situations that the size of the country makes it difficult to adapt to and the problems of actually enacting wide-spread change (beneficial or otherwise) in a government system that allows states to ignore the law and tie it up in courts for eternity out of sheer stubbornness and traditionalism.
Ironically it's the fault of the US itself why this happened and not "immigrants" or whatever; we spread capitalism everywhere and it turns out smaller counties are better at adapting to it faster then we did. I think the reason it's easier to blame immigrants and minorities is just visibility; you didn't "see" them back during this country's glory days, but since everyone saw their country purely through the radio or television (neither of which really talked much about minorities at the time) a lot of folks don't realize that the number of non-white citizens has only actually really GROWN in very recent years and was fairly stable and consistency large for decades before that.

Which again, is the fault of white folks because if they didn't want tons of black people here they probably shouldn't have brought them here in the first place.

Firstly, we're not all on reservations.
Secondly, it wasn't actually 90%, more like 70% when you add up that all the minorities adding up to nearly 21 million of then-population around 150 million.
It's just we had no TV presence so it was harder to "see" us.

You're literally disproven by the official Census data and it baffles me as to why anyone would just pull numbers out of their asses when we have all this tallied and written down for decades.

And anyone with half a brain knows not all indians are on reservations, but at the time most were and the fact that reservations were treated as sovereign governments and generally received little attention from the federal government is considered a reason for long term poverty. The trade off is that full integration into white society would have brought prosperity but also total death of culture and race for the indians which was unacceptable to racial egalitarians who viewed the indians and other minorities as noble peoples maligned by racists. For the racists keeping indians on the reservations ensured no possibility of racemixing.

Well as I understand it Europeans started realizing it that it really was a lot more expensive to keep and transport slaves a lot faster, especially as new technologies became increasingly available, plus seeing how so many slaves did NOT do much good for the Spanish Empire.
But yeah, I read there was ALWAYS a shitload of ambivalence to slaves and slave trade; a lot of the huge sailing powers made use of them, but slave traders got treated like the scum of the Earth by a lot of people (especially important or wealthy people) and a lot of religious figures were openly opposed to it.

Can't really pinpoint why it took white folks here so much more effort to come to the same conclusion. Maybe something about economic dependence upon them in some regions, but even that can't be all of it.

I really want to write a series about a gay superhero whose power is that he can harness his emotions as physical constructs. Except unlike literally every other gay hero out there, he's a complete prick and everybody fucking despises him because of how much of an cynical asshole he is. He doesn't have a lover nor does anyone want to be with him, and he's ok with this because it only gives him more fodder for his powers. The more you beat him up, he angrier he gets. The angrier he gets, the more powerful he becomes. And all the while he's spouting complete bullshit to you so you can siphon off your rage to make himself even stronger than he was before

Plus you're talking about relatively safer trade routes. You're either going through the continent or along the coast so stopping for resupply was much simpler. Ships lost a majority of there slaves each trip coming across the ocean. Overall it was probably cheaper to breed them for future generations of slaves. I mean some were actually traded in America for the purposes of breeding. There were older slaves that were sold specifically as studs.

Economic and political power in European nations was not to any great degree controlled by slaveowners. The slaveowners themselves dominated Southern legislatures and Southern representation in congress. There are multiple instances of pre-civil war presidential elections in which no one was allowed to vote and the electors were selected by elite committee in order to maintain power in the hands of the 10% of Southerners who owned slaves.

This was also why after the abolition of slavery in Brazil the Emperor was deposed by the ex-slaveowners who were still rich enough to move the whole country. This of course is why Brazil sucks.

At that point in time Europe was seen as a backward hellhole of aristocrats trampling the rights of the common people. The Southern elites were favored by the French Empire and British Empire because they successfully cast themselves as being more similar to the European elites.

The North on the other hand was still radical and deeply distrusted/disliked the Europeans.

>>92035102
>>92035196
The Europeans still favored the South. Their non-intervention wasn't simply an economic consequence but also military and diplomatic consequences. Just a few years earlier the Crimean War had pitted the British and French against the Russians and as the Confederacy continued to be on the defensive the Russians, who were friendly towards President Lincoln, began sending warships all over the place in an ominous manner. Essentially the Russians implied that if Britain and France invaded the Union, the Russians would attack the Ottoman Empire again. The threat of a Russo-American alliance lent pressure to London's choice whether to support the South or not.

Russian friendship towards the Union of course was spurred onwards by the fact that a strong Union was a good counterbalance to British naval power. So where the British supported a divided America because a weakened Union couldn't challenge them effectively the Russians felt it beneficial to have the North win and the Union remain united.
>>
>>92034754
Weren't Native Americans in constant wars with people carrying the flags of USA though?
It's like making Marvel's Thor a Christian.
>>
>>92035392
There were multiple factors. Wanting a divided Union was good for both France (which was busily trying to make Mexico their puppet) and Britain (which wanted the CSA around so that they could double team the USA from Canada and Dixie if they ever needed to) and diminish American naval and industrial power, since the USA of course had our own access to cotton whereas the British were still trying to fully dominate places like India.

Additionally the Southern planters cast themselves as being from centuries old planting bloodlines, the natural rulers over the smelly peasant whites and black slaves. In the reactionary ideologies of the time it was natural to assume that God had ordained a natural class system of aristocrats ruling over non-aristocrats. The Southern elites also liked that medieval-type stuff, hence why the KKK are called the Knights of the Fiery Cross and wear the same outfits as European knightly orders.

The North was also deeply hostile to the Europeans on the basis of governing ideology. In fact multiple times in the past 50 years the USA had either invaded Canada or provided support to the Canadian rebellions against the British, so there was ongoing distaste for America in Britain.

It's more that there were far more natives in Central America, plus they weren't Stone Age nomads so they couldn't be casually pushed out the way.
>>
>>92036105
Yeah, my boy Miggy was dope back in the day. But still, the point stands. You'd think that with the MCU making most of its bank overseas, more Marvel could at least go "hey guys, this American characcter actually comes from X country". You'd think that with America being a melting pot, they could throw the rest of us a bone and go the Cap route, of him being American of Irish descent. It'd be cool.
>>
>>92031255
Non-American here but it's a basic problem with trying to be as safe and respectful to a people as can be, without giving them a lot of attention.
Like I said, not from the US, so I can't speak from experience, but based on what I can only gather from media, Native people are ridiculously rare to come across in most parts of the country. Most of the time I've seen them show up, everything about their heritage is upfront and not at all casual.
I think the issue is that they're so uncommon that unless you're making fiction set in a Native community (I'm not aware of any TV shows which do that), then it's not lokely that you'll have many Native characters.
Subsequently, the few characters who do exist will need to embody everything creator wishes to reflect about Native culture, so they become a good person who's a nice, safe stereotype to show how knowledgeable and respectful the creator is of that culture.

Basically, if there were more of them, you'd get more variety, because they few characters that exist would no longer be carrying the entire representation on their shoulders.
>>
>>92036206
Actually, we weren't Stone Age nomads up here either. Well, not all nomads anyway. We built villages and shit up in the Northwest. They did on the East Coast too. Nomadic stuff is mostly a plains thing.

Also; Aztecs literally used stone weapons.
>>
>>92036131
But Marvel is a global company. They make money overseas. The MCU makes most of its bank outside of the US. It's not like we're talking about local soap operas. You create a universe based in the real world and champion diversity, well, you better throw the rest of us a bone. Like I said, they can just go the Cap route of having the character still be American, but of a certain descent. It'd go a long way with people.

No, because Tony was still an active character in the book and and Rhodey had actually been a cast member of the comics for years before becoming Iron Man.
For John Stewart? Yes, because he literally came out of left field all of a sudden and it was abrupt.
A lot of others (like Wildcat and Doctor Midnite) just weren't important enough for people to really care I guess, and they were willing to risk actually making new heroes rather then just shove in legacy ones.

Naw it's legit, they specifically call him a professional historian and there were interviews with John Tobias in the 90's where he talked about how he wanted Nightwolf to be less stereotypical than T.Hawk and Chief Thunder and fit into the modern world more.

And then Tobias left Midway after MK4 and they decided "y'know what Nightwolf needs? More deerskins" and actually ripped off the fucking Annihilation movie with his modified backstory. Seriously, the shitty second movie no one liked is the first time he was established as some ancient guy who doesn't age and the games decided THAT of all things deserves to be added to fucking canon.

Also, you can't call yourself a Polack to be edgy without most people our age thinking you're from a certain 4chan board.

They should have killed all those french, spaniards and birts before they got here and started fucking the natives if they wanted to stop racemixing.

>Hello I am a character
As a black man, where the fuck do you see this? It always feels like it's so hard for writers to strike a balance between writing a character as 'black' and just writing a character period independent of their race. Most black superheroes come off as not really being ideal to me.

That said, I do wish we got some more good Native American characters. Y'all probably got it way worse than we do.

But the Yupper accent is very distinctive, so it often shows up, sans stereotype.

And the stereotype is there good and hard in things like Prairie Home Companion.

There's not much of an Ohio stereotype other than that it's very Middle America, and has the stereotypical region-free "American accent".

And of course, that the Cuyahoga River is on fire.

That does seem to be what little stereotype we have. It is mostly wrong though. Cuyahoga hasn't caught fire in about 40 years and we don't have the region-free American accent. You have to go further west for that. The accents any of seem to have are much more noticeable if you're from here though.

Living on the East Coast, Ohioans (and you meet a lot who've escaped Ohio) seem to have a very neutral accent. You don't meet nearly as many people from, say, Indiana.

I've also met quite a few girls from your state who sound like Daria, which is incredibly, incomprehensibly sexy.

Northern Ohio accent is very close to the Buffalo accent. Southern Ohio accent depends on where ya go. But you get a range from near incomprehensible Appalachian to something that's closer to Texan.
The Ohioans who go to the East Coast talk about leaving as if they just barely got out. That doesn't really seem to be the case with Ohioans who push west for whatever reason. Not to mention we're always getting an influx of people. We didn't get to be the 7th most populous state for nothing I guess.
Anyway great /co/ media by Ohioans include Superman, Bone, and Calvin & Hobbes. Great /co/ media set in Ohio include ????? (though technically Calvin & Hobbes)

The problem with being a Pole is that everyone assumes what you've just wrote, but it's a misconception.
That "large part" is just a couple of events in relatively short time spans, but the post-WW2 memes blotted out everything else. It's not like other European nations didn't have much less of wars and invasions.
No post-commie country has popcultural equivalents of, let's say, Japanese samurai, Nordic vikings, or French la resistance, even though there's plenty of interesting historical stuff to base them upon. It sucks.
>Also, you can't call yourself a Polack to be edgy without most people our age thinking you're from a certain 4chan board.
It's pretty ironic that's what they picked as their name.

Your entire country did not exist for ~120 years and was re-established for no other reason than to have some military behind Germany (which did not work out), and is infamous for having a veto system in its congress where any single noblemen had the right to halt the entire proceedings (meaning that the only way to pass anything would be by unanimous decision, if you have but one noble who is more interested in his own wealth, it becomes effectively impossible to govern). Because of that, Poland was a non-factor in international politics for

I mean I sympathise with you (Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki), but you have to admit that your country made a lot of shitty decisions and were at the mercy of others for centuries. So were we, anyway.

>No post-commie country has popcultural equivalents of, let's say, Japanese samurai, Nordic vikings, or French la resistance, even though there's plenty of interesting historical stuff to base them upon. It sucks.

True enough. Us Hungarians had a few, but they are not prevalent in pop culture in any way, other than a bunch of old cartoons (Mathias the Just), and a rock opera (King Stephen).

I think the older generations would be too stingy about making pop culture versions of those. That, or they just aren't as interesting as Vikings or Samurai.

Nice to see that there are Magyarbros browsing this board. Funny coincidence, I started watching The Tragedy of Man today.
>Poland was a non-factor in international politics
There's no denying that, but it's not like the samurai and ninjas were particularly relevant outside of their country, and yet they are easily recognizable throughout the world. So it's not necessarily a matter of international relevance.
>I think the older generations would be too stingy about making pop culture versions of those.
Considering the times they lived in, they didn't have means of developing such things even if they wanted to.
But hey, maybe we'll get our popcultural heyday yet.
