Cultural constructs often have more impact on our everyday society than biological fact and as such people often find it easier to relate to a character to whom they feel a cultural connection (whether that stems from ideas such as race, ethnicity, gender etc). So in reverting several characters to white men DC is appealing to a smaller audience on some level.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840270045390557504noreply@blogger.com
