More of Ian Sattler at the the Heroes Con DC Nation panel.

"A serious topic came up about how characters who are minorities who happened to be legacy characters like Ryan Choi are killed off so their caucasian counterparts can return and how they feel like they are being cheated or sidelined out of their roles. Sattler took a more serious tone. "It's so hard for me to be on the other side because it's not our intention. There is a reason behind it all. We don't see it that way and strive very hard to have a diverse DCU. I mean, we have green, pink, and blue characters. We have the Great Ten out there and I have counter statistics, but I won't get into that. It's not how we perceived it. We get the same thing about how we treat our female characters."

God. The stupidity and ignorance burns.

I never really got the impact of those panels though. GL didn't stick around and help the aliens with their social problems (except for removing a few murderous dictators here or there) he just saves their lives. Unles he's only been shielding white people from falling debris and deflecting falling meteors into black neighborhoods, he's done just as much for black humans as he's done for any aliens or other humans.
