This is just something that has puzzled me for a while. I'm Asian-American. Growing up as a kid, I watched and enjoyed plenty of movies and entertainment that featured main characters that were not my race. I don't remember once thinking "well, I wish I could be invested in and inspired by Luke Skywalker/Harry Potter/Elliot in ET/Spiderman, but well dang he's a different color, so I guess I can't." I didn't see differing race as an obstacle to me engaging or empathizing with a character. When I watch Finn in Star Wars 7, I don't feel like I am inherently less invested in his character because he's not Asian. Yet we act like kids of a specific race are just starved for applicable entertainment with no fictional characters to look up to until there's some Marvel movie with an Asian superhero, or whatever. And we act like this is not only normal, but healthy? I don't know. Doubt many will agree, but that's what the sub is for, right?
