Pete Buttigieg, who is running for President of the United States, recently weighed in on the rumors that Marvel Studios are looking to recast Magneto and Professor X with black actors.
Buttigieg was asked byTMZ about the recent rumors and how he feels about diversity and inclusion in our stories when the roles are a traditional white role
Buttigieg responded, “I don’t think there is anything about the role that makes it white.” He continued, “Look, certainly the actors who portrayed Magneto and Professor X in the past were brilliant, but it’s not because they were white. And it doesn’t have to be them forever.”
He then made a broad general statement on comic book films, “Look, one of the beauties of making comic books into movies is you can reimagine them constantly. And there is nothing intrinsically white about any of those character roles."
Buttigieg would then lump in James Bond along with Magneto and Professor X and comic book characters in general.
"Whether we are talking about James Bond or whether we are talking about comic books it makes sense for the portrayal of these characters to reflect the amazing cultural diversity of the country, our country, producing these films.”
He concluded, “I just care about whether it’s going to be good. I believe they are up to that in producing a new film and would love to see that kind of diversity.”
There are barely any good black actors though. Fishburne, Denzel, Ali, and the guy from selma are the only elite ones

Jewish people are white.
Leo Hernandez
Nice bait, here’s a (You)
Jackson Miller
The pic while being posted for bait, Stan Lee did say he made both of those characters based on both of those guys. Magneto was based on Malcolm X by any means necessary separatism and Xavier based on MLK integration and peace philosophy.
Julian Rodriguez
Ben Shapiro is a white man. While his religion kay be judaism his race is white. Do you actually think Jewish is a race?
Jack Miller
Nothing about Blade is black either yet they are not willing to do white Blade. Fucking hate this, why can't they stick to comic roots? Nick Fury was already annoying enough because they had to use that one alternative version that is black for the sake of it. Ignoring the fact that he was like THIS for few decades. Do you fucking realize how hard it will be to bring classic Nick Fury is 90% of normalfags and pleb doesn't even realise this?
once a role is black it's black forever, if it's white then, well, it's up for debate
Matthew Richardson
>Waah a black guy is in muh comic movies
Jonathan Reed
Yeah but they are white. Just another ethic variety.
Brayden Baker
Based. To up the diversity, hollywood needs to create an Asian Shaft. Base it on the korean rooftop snipers. Totally down with an Asian fucking up niggers and spics
Chase Martin
Don’t fall for his bait. He’s some /pol/ faggot trying to derail this thread.
Christian Mitchell
If they don’t consider themselves to be white then they’re not white
Jack Wood
>if they dont consider themselves white then they arent white >if my brother dosent consider himself a man, then hes a girl >if my dog dosent consider himself a dog, hes a cat!
Levi Taylor
Isn't Magneto's whole thing is that he is eternally butthurt about muh Shoah?
Matthew Parker
That’s how it works pal, a black man who says he’s white is whiter than the self hating cuck who says he isn’t
Wyatt Stewart
Doesn't matter what individual say.
Chase Williams
he's mad his family was murdered by racists. there is totally no way this could be transferred over to being black though
Nicholas Adams
Buttigay continues to somehow be the most obnoxious person in this race.
Elijah Sullivan
So what?A modern black magneto cou l d be mad about the lynching and genocides during the Jim Crow era
Aiden Bell
Is Rachel Dolezal black then?
Logan Collins
No, she’s just delusional
Justin Watson
>film is a visual medium >lets insert people who are as non-appealing visually as possible yesss please more blacks, lets make it as eyesore as possible
James Barnes
How old would Magneto have to be to be around for that?
Sebastian James
As old as magneto would be to be around for the Holocaust.
Ryder Adams
George Zimmerman murdered Treyvon Martin a few years ago. Racist murders are a facet of modern life.
Evan Ortiz
HOW ABOUT ASIAN? HUH? MAYBE IT'S TIME TO SHOW THEM TO. NOGS ALREADY HAD THAT SHITTY PANTHER FAGGOT. PROF X IS SUPPOSED TO BE INTELLECTUAL GUY SO ASIAN MAKES MORE FUCKING SENSE THAN A NOG.
Gavin Phillips

Lucas Rivera
>X GON GIVE IT TO YA
Brody Young
asians will get shangchi as the chinese pandering kungfu film instead
expect a gazillion dollar box office however because mainland chinks have no taste
They in fact are. Lots os hispanics are white as well
Samuel Butler
99% of Hispanics are brown
Ryan Cook
We are just arguing shades of beige here. Hispanics are prrtty much white
Jose Ross
The character was drawn that way. Comics are a visual medium. Don't know if you knew. Superman's suit is blue. Charles Xavier is a white fella. Do it right.
James Cruz
Why should Xavier be white? Theres no real reason he cant be black.
Isaiah Butler
white when it's advantageous, semitic when it isn't.
Jackson Reyes
No they aren’t, when people think of Hispanics, darkies come to mind
Aaron Myers
Self defense isnt murder nitwit
Christian Sullivan
>Batman needs a good chin or a particular physique, otherwise he doesn't look like the character on the page >colour is a complete non-issue though Why can't the incredible Hulk be pink? There's nothing about the character that says he can't be pink.
Kayden Morris
>American presidential candidate spends time talking about capeshit and how he likes getting fucked in the ass What a dumpster fire of a country.
Wyatt Howard
Nothing about the roles make them black, which also applies to every single blackwashed role in film & tv. So stop doing this shit.
Bentley Jenkins
Because he's white. Why can't Xavier have a mullet and a handlebar mustache?
Blake Bennett
Yeah we know, because their ancestors are just East European LARPers, tell that to the magically race switching blue ticks though.
Nathan Hughes
Woahhhhhh shit, one person wrote an op-ed, guess that proves it
Eli Green
>nothing about a holocaust survivor means they are white Wow can't believe Buttjug just exposed the jew
