Not an Ordinary Fairytale.

Answer
"Let me ask you one simple question: if, say, Donald Glover were cast as Peter Parker tomorrow, what do you think Stan would say about it?" ... Don't you think that's a double standard, Tom? What if Jessica Biel got cast as Storm? People would go crazy about it, even though Storm being black is not as culturally important as Black Panther or Luke Cage being black in the movies. Perry White was black in the movies. Imagine a black Perry White in comics in the 30s...

This might be a valid argument if the sides were equal. But they are in no way near to being. There are literally thousands of white super heroes, and comparatively few black super heroes. So casting a white actress as Storm is not the same thing as casting a black actor as Spider-Man. If you cast, say, one of the Fantastic Four with a black actor, there are still three white super heroes, 75%, in your film. And it’s really an obvious lack of understanding or empathy among people who make this argument. You have no conception of what it is like to look over the comic book racks and to not be able to find a character who resembles you on the most basic level. And what’s more, you don’t really care.

As for your ridiculous Perry White analogy, I had no idea that MAN OF STEEL was set in the 1930s.
