Why does DC continue to insist on casting Iris and Wally as black

Because changing the irrelevant redheaded side characters into irrelevant black side characters is a quick and painless way to reach the minimun negro quota every mainstream piece of media has had to hit since the mid 00s.

>>93107286
Iris has brown hair not red. She and Wally are not related by blood, she is adopted.

Because it really doesn't matter. Especially to people like you, OP, who don't actually read comics.

Nobody gives a shit, neckbeard snowflake. Sorry to inform you.

And sto replying to your self retard.

Why are you here if you don't read comics?

Because that girl is so fucking cute.

>>93107306
>it doesn't matter
Yes it does.
>Don't read comics
The Human Race is the best Flash story ever written.

>>93107356
what the characters look like doesn't change the story

and Human Race is not even the best story in the Morrison/Millar run, casual

>>93107315
>LOOK HOW MUCH I DON'T CARE EVERYONE

>>93107370
>Looks
DC writers do more than change looks when they change race. Black iris and black Wally don't act like white Wally or Iris

>I don't read comic books

>>93107247
Wally being black it's actually a joke, because Wally was originally a racist.

>why are there darkies in my comic book movie
That's a racist question, OP.

>>93107247
Because they can't cast a white person as an anti-America that hates America. So they did the next best thing and cast a black person that is actually anti-America and hates America.

Because they were cast before rebirth when we only had black Wally.

>>93107247
There is still hope for movie Wally. They can say he is adopted or something.

Because ginger is a convenient anagram.

It's actually ok when DC does it though

because I've been banging a black girl and its chill
she's probably faking it, but seems to really enjoy sex

Because Ginger Genocide

it's what people wanted

#keepIrisblack

>>93107306
It sounds and seems like you are talking about yourself.

>>93107247
Redheads are one of the smallest minorities and since Hollywood wants white genocide they start with the minorities among the white minority.

>>93107496
It's not that they're darkies, it's that they're black Americans. Why does this 30 million strong population make up 1/4 of the planet's media?

>>93107247
Diversity.

Or are you triggered by this?

>>93110277

>Why does this 30 million strong population make up 1/4 of the planet's media?

Why are half the shows on television about cops or doctors when they make up a tiny percent of the world's population? Media is not about representing every aspect of real life as accurately as possible.

The numbers game is more bullshit. "Oh, I'm not racist, I'm just asking why they're in there. It's just numbers and statistics, I'm just asking the question." They wouldn't do this if the racial politics of the golden/silver ages of comics didn't make it so a large number black heroes was a social and financial impossibility.

>but that's not my problem

Too bad. Build a time machine, add more black and female and gay characters into the time periods where these characters were codified into pop culture, then you can whine about diversity and quotas.

Although I like the actress choice the angry idiots screaming "racism!" are more annoying than the ones questioning the choice

>>93110277
Why are white overrepresented in the planet's media then?

This piss-skinned mulatto isn't even black. They literally cast the least harmless "ethnic" person they could find to be the love interest.

Actual fans of Wally West. Black Wally should be a different character, he acts nothing like his predecessor.

Nah

>>93107247
Does their ethnicity matter? No? Why does it matter if it's changed? Would you care if they were indian?

To met Iris wasn't that well known, important, or heavily influenced other than Lois Lane, Selena Kyle, or Mary Jane. When Barry kicked the bucket Wally took over and his love interest was Linda. How often did Iris appear during Wally's run?

No one cares or has seen the Tornado Twins in a long time

My problem is being able to buy Ezra's Flash handling that

https://my.mixtape.moe/sawfcn.gif

I hear he's a good actor though. I only ever saw him on Royal Pains and trailers.

>>93107304
>she is adopted
Thank you. Fucking no one seems to remember that she's from the future!!

>>93109235
Iris and Wally aren't related by blood asshole.

She's from the future sent to the 20th century as a new born because of
>it was me Barry

>>93111300
Oh yeah, because she is adopted in comics, it is guaranteed that it will still be the case in the movie, because all adaptations are 100% accurate to the source material.

>>93107247
Redheads get sunburn under stage lights.

>>93107408
Do you think they would have if they were white?

>>93107247
Look, they got the amazing Jesse Martin to be Joe West so they reached into their bag of unused black actresses and got Candice Patton, their One Tree Hill reject.

They're all good looking and the guy playing wally ain't half bad, so let's see what happens.

The only time you should change someone's race is if you can get away with it.

>>93115260
Jesse Martin's so good as Joe that everything else was worth it.

Well, Iris is mostly worth it. She still has some truly terrible scenes but that's on the writing team, not the actress.

Race changing established characters, instead of creating new ones is retarded.

>>93107286
Given how Hollywood is, I'm more surprised they haven't cast a black guy as Barry and kept Iris white.

Except that literally always happens in the media. White men are allowed to get with anything.

As soon as a new minority character is created people whine about pandering.

Push an existing minority character people whine about pandering.

Tim Burton sure didn't, by his own admission. Even Billy Dee Williams knew, but Burton didn't.
