After James Gunn shared a picture of Chukwudi Iwuji as the High Evolutionary in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,' a troll whined, 'Damnit... another white guy they made into a black guy' (via toofab)

But he wasn't done there, as one follower immediately went on a racist rant about the casting choice."Damnit... another white guy they made into a black guy," the user wrote."Why couldn't they leave him white or i don't know...pick a different minority?"Making his argument a little more muddy, the user continued,"How about Asian or gasp! A Latino? Or make him an Indian or something… because they don't and won't, that makes them 'woke.

While this user was getting all worked up over Iwuji's race, most fans were talking more about how much this image reminded them of"Robocop." It's the skin of the face being pulled over the machinery that evokes the 1987 film starring Peter Weller. It's a little odd to argue that Gunn and Marvel are"woke" if they change a white character into a Black character, but not if they change a white character into any other minority. It's also still racist.
