Latinx people don't exist. That's not a real thing.

I mean, I'm half latino. That's a thing.

Hawkman somehow manages to be even more radioactive than the Legion of Super-Heroes, and that's no small feat. I think it was Zero Hour, way back, that tried to "Fix" him by making him the sum of every Hawkman ever, or something? Jesus. I want nothing to do with that.

They generally don't care. Therefore there's no reason to make a big hoopla about appeasing them. They weren't the ones crying about anything to start with.

People who pander don't waste time pandering to people who won't care enough to complain.
I don't know... it's usually loud, pink-haired white people complaining on Twitter that are pandered to... not the actual races of people they're trying to defend/support. They're just watching things like, "You want to fight for me? I'm not really feeling oppressed... but go ahead, I guess." Kind of like how the peaceful BLM protests are. Mostly angry white chicks and a few white dudes, very little actual black people.
