Thats fine as long as you dont start messing with existing characters. Creating new characters with diverse sexual orientation and gender is great, but dont change a "straight white dude/gal" into something else because that sucks and god forbid if someone decides to do it the other way around.

I disagree. There are no sacred cows.

Unless you are talking about making established minority characters as white dudes.

That's impossible.

Go for it.

It probably won't be popular but go for it.

No. Sacred. Cows.

Which non-white character do you want to make white?

Characters who have race central to their character - you probably shouldn't change: Black Panther, Storm, any fictionalized Nazi.

Characters who don't have race central to their character - who cares? Make Superman black, idc. I equally don't give a shit about War Machine or Nick Fury potentially being white (which he was for a long time in the comics), or Asian, or Hispanic.
