So if I don't agree with the casting and I am automatically a racist. Good to know.
That article was BRUTALLY written. How Faraci is deemed a credible journalist is beyond me.

To be honest, instead of all this social agenda political correctness BS, I would have preferred BY FAR if Sue was just black as well. As I have said 100x the family aspect of the FF is its greatest appeal and there was no need to convolute a straight brother/sister dynamic in the film.

Well said and I agree about Sue. Common freaking sense would tell you that you cast a black girl to play Sue.

On another note I wish the ultimate universe didn't exist. Why are these hollywood assclowns drawn to it????

Forgetting the fact that there is a black actor cast in the role of HT what is the problem of a mixed race family? Seriously? There is plenty of mixed race families. Now while a mixed races generally produce lighter skinned people it's not beyond the realms of possibility of this family actually bring possible.

No problem at all, it just isn't the Fantastic Four.

That's not the point I'm making. Some people seem to be more put out by the fact that there is a mixed race family.

Not necessarily here mate but I have seen lots of articles and threads on other cb forums. They all say if your going to go with a black actor for Johnny why not a black actress for Sue. I don't have a dog in this fight as I've never been a fan of the comic. Maybe some of the earlier stories but the recent comic arcs have been forgettable. The previous two movies where also very mediocre.
