And why are they complaining? Thor was a cross-dresser (wasn't happy about it though; it was a trick to kill a giant).

Diversity bosses in Washington state accused a student council of promoting white supremacy for suggesting a mural of hammer-wielding Norse god Thor could represent their school team.
Students at Mountain View High School in Vancouver offered a mural of the god - whose name translates as 'thunder' - to decorate a wall in a newly renovated building as their senior gift.
Its team is nicknamed 'The Thunders' and there is already a Thor statue in the school's main entrance.
But the AI image they came up with horrified the district's equity office which demanded the god be removed or accompanied by women and people of color.
'They had an issue with the image not being racially and gender inclusive, as well as upholding an image of pure colonization, white power, white supremacy and even going as far as to say that it was alluding to racist anti-black imagery in the south,'
'We were just essentially told that we will maybe understand their perspective when we're in our 40s and have more life experiences like they do.'
The students' senior council was not expecting a backlash when they suggested the god of thunder for their new mural.
They used their talents with AI to produce a classic image of the deity wielding his hammer on top of a mountain amid lightning bolts.
'We were really excited to have the mural up, we thought by Spring Break,' Tara said.
But after submitting their design they received an email from Evergreen Public Schools district administrator demanding to know if students had been surveyed about the design.
It reminded them that 'We are a system that strives for inclusive representation and our Title IX and Gender Inclusive Schools commitments obligate us to create a neutral and diverse representation of the 'Thunder'.

Yes that was “Let 1000 Flowers Bloom”! It simply self-outed the malcontents that Mao could then cut down later.
Heimdahlr. Not Thor... But yes, having Idris play HEIMDAHLR THE WHITEST GOD, was a deliberate thumb in the eye. In Norse mythology, he was literally known for being the palest albino in the pantheon.
... and I LIKE Idris as an actor.

That is part of the religion/mythology... So... Accurate to a certain extent.
Isn’t it interesting that “Inclusion” excludes Caucasians.
You know it's true.
Now we need a Netflix special with Thor played by a black dude.

“That looks like a volcano. Maybe they could call themselves The Vulcans.”

why not a big rugged trout or something...
Race hustlers.
And why are they complaining? Thor was a cross-dresser (wasn't happy about it though; it was a trick to kill a giant).

I'm kind of surprised they are objecting seeing that it's a mythological *god* and not God.
So make Thor black and see if the DEI crowd still has a problem. My guess is they will not then see the need for diversity in the mural.
Put a chick in it and make her gay and lame.
Everyone needs to tell the ones objecting to F@#$% off. If you noticed race, YOU are the racist. Ditto for maleness.
Yes, because the Democrats haven’t been able to seize enough power yet.
Why not add a woman at his feet looking up adoringly and a couple of black guys being cowered by his magnificence. Would that be diverse and inclusive enough?
They should redo the poster with him portrayed as black sporting an artificial vagina.
