So how is it acceptable to steal white cultural characters and make them black? There's the Heimdall incident in the Thor film, which was typical PC crap that did nothing for anybody and empowered genuine racists amongst the black and white cultural groups. But I have in mind more the excessively gutless- we know making them black would cause riots so make them coffee coloured -approach taken in Fantastic Four with coffee Sue Storm and the even more offensive given the context coffee Conan.
Conan and indeed Sue Storm have set descriptions. They are white europeans. Each is in fact blue eyed, and Sue Storm is a classic northern european blonde. Cast them appropriately.
Sunshine Spider-Man from ultimate spider-man is just hilariously appalling for lots of reasons, his Aljolsonification isn't even the main offence. Bendis can't write unless he's rewriting a TV show, once I find which one Sunshine Spider-Man is based on it will become trivial to "guess" what his interminable issues will unfold as their "plot".
Reading Jim Shooter's blog on the one hand and the asperger support groups masquerading as comics forums on the other it really is like being able to watch parallel Earths.
