Hello, True Believers! SpacePanther17 here, with some race and political drama from /r/marvelstudios! Now for those who are out of the loop, let me get you up to speed. [Zendaya] is a mixed race model/actress who has been rumoured as being cast to play MJ (one of Spider-Man's most famous love interests and who in the comics is a Caucasian redhead and has been portrayed as such in all Spider-Man media she has appeared in) in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming film. This has caused quite a lot of drama.

Full thread

Meme-com-poop argues that most of the people who were upset that Zendaya might be playing MJ were upset about the hair color, not the skin color.

RedBarrel disagrees and says that "anyone who says that is just pissed about her skin color and doesn't want to admit it because even they know they're wrong to be so racist."

GG ChokeslamSex argues that it is not racist to want MJ to actually look like MJ.

Trodgerable says that ChokeslamSex's "political views" are not welcome in the subreddit.

Apologies for this drama being 4 days old.
