Race swapping

Okay, pop culture needs to be more diverse.
Every kid should be able to find a comic book, movie or video game and be able to see someone who looks like them, that's important and it's the gate way drug to getting kids hooked on the vast array of amazing geeky stuff out there, but do we have to do it by taking a random white character and changing their race?

It's lazy, it tends to cause more problems than it solves and to be honest, it's faintly insulting.
Here you go kid, you don't get your own super hero, but we'll repaint this hand-me-down and let you have it.

and it's never a main character. Race swapping gives kids sidekicks, supporting characters and villains.
They don't deserve their own superman, but they do deserve their own Jimmy Olsen?
Captain America can't be black, but we'll have the Falcon dress up kind of like him and that'll be close enough, right?

Plus, as a writer, I love the idea that writers got it wrong and thank goodness someone came along to fix things.
Obviously Stan Lee wanted Peter Parker to be a gay Asian, but the mean corporate overlords wouldn't let him!

I get that creating new characters is hard and economically risky for publishers and studios, but it's the way to go.
White is not the default setting, it's a race and culture too.

I'd much rather see everybody get their own versions than just hope they're happy with whatever scraps we toss them.
Almost nobody was happy that Jimmy Olsen is now black, but they are thrilled that Luke Cage got his own TV show.

Every culture is unique and taking a pop culture trope and filtering it through that culture is going to create something interesting and different.
Let's have Bollywood super heroes, Asian westerns, Mexican spacemen, Middle eastern vampire hunters and African time travelers.

Cause honestly, I want to read all that stuff and I can't write it myself. Not enough hours in the day.
You guys are going to have to help me.
