It's Getting Better: Pop Culture's Shift to Multi-Ethnic Characters Instead of Caricatures; ComicBookResources.com, 8/13/15

Kevin Mahadeo, ComicBookResources.com; It's Getting Better: Pop Culture's Shift to Multi-Ethnic Characters Instead of Caricatures:

"Comics haven't caught up to television and movies -- and television and movies haven't quite caught up to, you know, reality -- but it's all getting there. Slowly, yes, but also surely, we're moving closer to where it all needs to be.

In this climate, it's so easy to point out all the wrongs, all the mistakes, and to lash out at them and decry them and demand blood in retaliation. It happens far too often, and that sort of reaction -- rather than properly calling attention to the mistakes and discussing how to actually improve on them -- makes people afraid to even try. It slows progress. Rational discussion is important. Calling out and celebrating positive and progressive changes are important.

Because at the end of the day it's also important to remember: yes things aren't perfect, yes there is still a lot of a ways to go, but it is getting better. Let's work together to make it great."
