What if Marvel declares that Storm is a mixture of all races?

Eh I don't agree with that at all.

But how often does Storm look this African?

This the way Strom should stay! She is A AFRICAN Goddess!

It's Marvel's character. They gave her oval blue irises and white straight hair. Why weren't fans arguing about it when she debuted? Why weren't the "Black is Beautiful" campaigners raising a fuss? It's only after she became hugely popular that this issue is being stirred up but they're decades too late.

A lot of her background is ******** which is why I don't collect X-Men anymore. But I've stopped putting down Marvel's writers for doing their job.

Instead, I look to real African women who are working hard. They're my examples.

Back in October 8th, researchers revealed there was a mass migration from Europe into Africa 3,000 years ago. They believe 25% of modern Africans can trace their ancestry to this event.

"Every single population for which we have data in Africa has a sizeable component of Eurasian ancestry," said Dr Andrea Manica, from the University of Cambridge, who carried out the research.

This is not even taking into account the earlier migrations into North Africa and along East Africa.
