I also thought that. But she hates that her hair is naturally straight and white, and that she has blue eyes. She says her clothes and accessories are usually a mishmash of different styles in different African countries, and designed by creators who don't know anything about Africa. In the cartoons and video games Storm is always shown in small villages, which is treated like the entirety of Africa. Storm being treated like a Goddess is offensively similar to how the first white imperialists portrayed themselves as gods when they first came to Africa.
Not saying I agree with all points. I think Storm is extremely important for being the most well known African woman in comics, and is one of my favourite X-men. Obviously her points are controversial and I'm sure a lot here don't like that, but I'm not from Africa, so...
