What’s funny is that Blade is a Marvel Comic movie that came out exactly 20 years ago (quite possibly, the first Marvel movie to ever come out in the mainstream) and it’s star was Wesley Snipes. Not a peep about race then

Extreme - Trillian posted a link to an online petition that's already up and demanding 25% of the profits. The link is right above your comment.

The Money Quote...

“The petition asks for Marvel to invest 25 percent of its worldwide profit in black communities and programs within these communities that focus on S.T.E.M educational programs.”

Someone needs to explain to the author of the petition that a STEM degree has limited value unless you are an elite student.

If you are an average American STEM grad, you are instantly competing with foreign OPT students who can work in the USA for almost 3 years after graduation.

After that, you are competing with foreign H-1Bs.

The OPTs and the H-1Bs are all chasing Green Cards, which means they will outwork you AND accept lower pay.
