Roberto Da Costa is Black! Blackity Black Black! He is also visibly Black! There is no reason why he should be portrayed as a white man or voiced by one when his very first appearance was him being hate crimed for being Black! Marvel needs to fix this and quickly. Brazil is predominantly Black. There should be no excuse. Fix his design too because Black ppl have many looks but Roberto does not look like a Black person. It’s not eugenics like some of you idiots are claiming. It’s called portraying a character correctly. It doesn’t matter that it’s animation. No white person should be voicing a nonwhite character. Period. And let’s not forget the stupid show runner took away the fact that Magneto is Jewish cuz it “doesn’t matter”. Meanwhile every other character that has been casted is represented properly by their voice actors. Ion know what they got going on over at Marvel Studios and Entertainment, cuz that recent Spider-Man comic with Kamala is WILD, but they need to get it together. X-Men ‘97 is going down hill already and none of it is acceptable.

marvel should stop casting white latinos to play Roberto da Costa, the literal reason my boys powers manifested was because he was suffering racism for being BLACK.
he's afro-latino it's not that hard to find brazilian black actors (which is the characters nationality and ethnicity i wont forgive them for casting a mexican man to play a whole brazilian character, literally two different languages and cultures)
but, the purpose of this post is just to point out that i think they should cast my boy Gabriel Santana who's afro-latino, brazilian and a amazing actor
uhhhh murderbot, berto, or sam? you don't have to do all of them dskfjsdlkf i'm just yeeting characters i associate with u
have sam and berto :3 hehe

Let's have a conversation.
Just because an ethnic group includes white people, it doesn't mean presenting said ethnic group as white is beyond critique. Presenting a diverse ethnic group as all-white or pale, or any specific way to cater to white supremacy (racism, colorism) is still whitewashing.
Homogenizing Roma as white caters to white supremacy.
Homogenizing black women as light-skinned caters to white supremacy.
Homogenizing Latines as white or light-skinned caters to white supremacy.
Lightening the skin tone or erasing the racial identity of canonically dark-skinned, brown, and/or black characters caters to white supremacy.
Homogenizing entire races and ethnic groups to look one way in the media created THIS:

I Put a Spell on You - A New Mutants fanfiction
A/N: Hey guys! Here’s an extract from the IllyanaxRoberto story I promised a while back! It’s about the school’s Halloween Ball, and Roberto being kind of confused about his and Illyana’s relationship status. If you’re interested, the link to the whole story will be at the end of the post.
Roberto reached the door leading down to the club room on autopilot. He only pulled out of his thoughts when it came time to walk down the stairs. The club room was ajar, and he heard laughing from inside. When he walked in, he found Illyana seating behind the computer, as usual, working on editing their movie. Sam, Dani, and Rahne were seating around one of their tiny sets, talking. They were almost done shooting their short film, but the last few sets needed to be finished before they could continue.
"Hey, where were you?" Rahne asked as Roberto walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
"Finishing my lunch," he said with a frown as if there could be another answer.
Illyana stretched her arms and stood up, picking up her bag.
"Take over, I have to go to class."
She walked past him and gave him a look. That look. It was like an intense kiss in the rain. It hurt Roberto's heart so much, but in a good, lightening sort of way. Every time it made him want to pull her back to him and kiss her fiercely. Every time she was already gone before he could snap out her spell. Roberto swallowed thickly and went to sit by the computer. He was still holding the tickets in his hand. He went through his bag, looking for his wallet, to store the tickets safely away.
"What's that?" Rahne asked because nothing ever evaded her.
"Nothing," Roberto replied quickly.
Sam and Dani looked his way, and Sam said:
"Tickets for the ball?"
"Well, yeah, you have to have a ticket to get in, don't you?"
"Yeah, but two tickets..." Sam trailed off.
There was a moment of silence and Roberto tried to focus on his work, hoping the others would let it go. Dani didn't.
"Are you gonna ask Illyana to go to the dance with you?"
"Why? Are you gonna make fun of me?"
"No, I just think it's romantic."

Paperback - A New Mutants fanfiction
A/N: Hey guys! Here’s an extract from my new New Mutants fanfiction, about Dani selling books to help her high school’s AV club and Rahne all around liking books (and Dani). If you’re interested, the link to the full story is at the end!
Dani reached the fourth floor with a sigh. She was only halfway through the building, and she was really glad that she lived in a single floor cabin at the reservation, and not on the eighth floor of a building without an elevator.
She took a deep breath, cleared the throat, brushed a few strands of dark hair out of her face, and knocked on the nearest door. Swiftly, she pulled a flier out of her bag. The door opened slowly. There was a young woman her age standing on the other side. Her short red hair was shaggy and fell messily just over her brown eyes. She was wearing sweat pants and an oversized sweater. Dani recognized her immediately.
"Hey, you're Rahne, right? We have a few classes together."
Rahne nodded sharply once. Her hands were tugged in the sleeves of her sweater, and she struggled to pull them out.
"You're Dani."
Dani nodded. Rahne usually stuck to the back of the class, where she could disappear and be forgotten by everyone. But Dani had noticed her, staring out the window as if she longed to be always outside.
"Why are you here?" Rahne asks, pulling Dani out of her thoughts.
Dani clears her throat again.
"Yeah, so, um... I'm here to help save the AV club at school."
Dani hands Rahne the flier, and Rahne finally pulls one of her hand out of her sweater to look at it. It's a printed flier which claims in bright color 'Help us save the AV club at Claremont High'. Rahne flipped it open, but before she could read, Dani explained:
"Most of the club left last year after our founding got slashed and now there's only four of us, so the principal wants to close the club. We convinced him to keep it open but he won't give us more money and we need it for our next project."
Most of what Dani said was written almost word for word inside the flier. Rahne looked up from the piece of paper and found Dani staring at her with hopeful eyes.
"What's your project?" Rahne asked.
"We're trying to make a stop-motion short film. If we can finish it before the Christmas break we can enter the State-sponsored student contest. I think if we win something than the principal can't try to shut us down anymore."
Rahne nodded.
"Makes sense. So you're looking for donations?"
"Not quite."
Dani pointed to the middle of the flier, where there was a list of fifteen names with little boxes in front of every item. Rahne read the first few names.
"We're selling books to help raise money. Only public domain one so they're all a bit old but it's a great opportunity if there's a classic you've always wanted to read but never bought."
Rahne was still reading through the list and Dani pursed her lips thoughtfully, trying to remember what else she was supposed to say.
"One book is $5, but if you buy more than three than all the other ones are $3. So it's $15 for three, but $18 for four, $21 for five,..."
Rahne looked up from the flier. Her eyes met Dani's for a second before she looked away.
"If you want to collect money you shouldn't be doing special prices."
Dani shrugged.
"What sounds better? Four books for twenty bucks or five?"
"I see your point."
Rahne bit her lower lip thoughtfully, prompting Dani to glance at her lips before looking away.

We Are Not Alone - A New Mutants fanfiction (!SPOILERS!)
A/N: Hey guys! I went to see New Mutants yesterday and I just had to write a fanfiction, so SPOILER if you haven’t seen the movie yet, but if you have here’s an extract of the story, which takes place right after the movie, and the link to the full story will be after!
The next town over really is eighteen miles away. At least Reyes didn’t lie about that. It took them most of the day to get there, mostly because they had to take regular breaks whenever Roberto complained about his sore feet. The sun has already disappeared, replaced by a dark, dome-less sky when they find the sign at the entrance of town. Hamsburg, Virginia. Dani lets out a hum at the sign. So that’s where they were.
The town is quiet. The moon is high above it, observing its every street. Few cars pass through, though many can be heard in the distance, prompting Dani to believe that a highway or interstate might just be nearby. The air is cool, but not enough to make her shiver. Rahne’s hand is still in hers, and her warm palm against hers makes her smile.
A sign near the entrance of town indicates a motel. When they finally reach it, there’s a collective sigh of relief, as the vacancy sign flickers in and out, so close to dying yet holding on, somehow.
“I think we could all use some sleep. What do you say, guys?”
Dani turns around and very quickly notices Illyana is gone. She frowns, as the others also seem to realize she’s left them. A bit further down the street, a bell resounds. They all look as Illyana disappears inside a diner. They rush after her.
Much like the rest of the town, the diner is mostly empty. There’s a waitress serving coffee to a man at the counter, and a family passing through on their holidays at the back of the diner. The diner itself seems new enough that it must have been renovated recently while keeping the 50s aesthetic that is sure to please tourists. Illyana has already taken a seat in one of the booths. While Sam, Rahne, and Dani linger by the door, Roberto steps inside and stands by Illyana.
“Come on, Illy, we’re going to sleep in the motel.”
“I’m hungry,” she replies, grabbing a plastic menu and flipping it open in front of her. “I haven’t eaten since this morning, and it’s not like what you made us was any good anyway.”
Roberto’s face falls slightly, though he tries to play it cool.
“How are we even going to pay?”
Illyana wiggles in her seat until she can pull a credit card from her back pocket.
“Stole it from Reyes’ wallet before we left. Now come on, I’m sure they have cheeseburgers who actually taste like cheese,” she said, looking at the rest of the group.
Tentatively, the others settle in the booth with her, the boys on either side of the girls, with Dani in the middle. They pass menus around, though they remain silent for the most part.
