If I can try to build on this constructively, I think sometimes conversations about diversity in media become a little bit too categorical, and dare I say overly race-focused.

I want to see characters like Riri Williams because her lived experience is different than that of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, and so on. It's not just that she's got melanin. It's that her age and place of birth and the resources available to her and the obstacles that she faces are different from those of those other characters. It makes stories fresh. It gives people from that background more media with which they can more closely relate, and it gives people who aren't from that background an ability to better relate to and appreciate the experiences of those who are.

I just feel like this sometimes doesn't get acknowledged enough. I'm not looking for more "black people". I'm just looking for more people. And black people happen to be among many kinds of people we haven't seen as much of in these stories so far.
