It’s been noticed that although many early movie makers and comic creators were Jewish, their heroes most often were portrayed as WASPS or ethnic Western Europeans.
From Wikipedia: "In 2000, [Michael] Chabon published The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay [about the early comic-book industry], a novel that John Leonard, in a 2007 review of a later novel, called Chabon’s magnum opus. It received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001.
“His novel The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, an alternate history mystery novel, was published in 2007 and won the Hugo, Sidewise, Nebula and Ignotus awards”
Disappointed in you Alvarez. Fanning the embers of racism should be beneath your morals. Elizabeth Warren has already apologized for her claiming Indian ancestry even though most of us would have committed the same faux pas.

Indeed, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Jerry Siegel, Joe Schuster and others – all disadvantaged Jewish kids.

There’s a slur in that strip that was unnecessary. Shame shame.
