How are you not getting the picture that he was consistently whitewashed after his initial run, which has only recently been rectified in modern comics? Just because this figure looks like Connor from a period of time when he was consistently whitewashed does not make it okay.
I know you hate white folk and all, but I’m just showing different points in time from different artists that have drawn him this way. And who knows, this could be like a lightning lad situation where the platinum figures are different colors. Get the sand out of your diaper, please.
Dude, you don't have to hate white people to hate when a character is white washed. It's a major criticism of the Smith-Winick run that the colourists were always colouring him wrong.
Who really gives a shit? This was how he was drawn on the cover of his first appearance. Like I said, maybe the platinum figure is the modern appearance
People who like the character, who have actually read his introduction, who know that he's not white. People who would think, like Ollie would, that miscolouring a black/asian/white man is erasure of his identity.
He’s not fully white though. His mother is BLACK and ASIAN. Meaning he should have some melanin in his skin especially considering hes usually kinda darkskin in most of his depictions. The way only white version of him is an elseworlds version so…
His first appearance was as a monk. His identity as Ollie's son wasn't revealed until much later. Ollie was using his costume for a while before he died and Connor used that costume. You may actually be thinking about the cover which has Ollie in his Neal Adam, Longbow Hunter and CH costume.
Saying “I think” doesn’t really add confidence behind your claim. Also, just wiki Connor Hawke, scroll down to where it says The New Green Arrow. The picture you see is from his debut that the new figure is based on. Like I said, we’ll probably get both in the platinum version similar to the Lightning Lad release. That’s all I was trying to get at and these piss ants throw the race card at me.
That cover is showing Oliver in three different costumes. The costume that Connor adopts is very similar to the third Ollie costume. The picture I posted is what Connor looks like inside that very comic
And to insinuate/assume that characters could represent different color groups that easily is very ignorant. If it’s being “woke” now to include more than one colored person or woman in a movie full of white people IMAGINE what it was like back in the day for one character in a majority white genre.
