There can be white Africans (South Africa comes to mind), so does that mean Black Panther can be white? I don't want that, but saying there are black danish people isn't an argument. And pointing and screaming "racist!" at anyone who doesn't see it their way is an overplayed card that holds no power. I'm not interested in anything any Disney representative has to say about the casting, of course they would defend it.

I absolutely agree that latino and asian americans are vastly underrepresented. Just look at MCU films... very few latino or asian characters, despite many instances of race changes in the characters. Disney is by no means an authority on proper representation.
