White People: 'Luke Cage' Is Racist

Forgetting (or choosing to ignore) that #OscarsSoWhite (as is Hollywood in general), white people are apparently complaining about Netflix's Luke Cage being racist. Marvel's latest show is also its blackest, from its hero and villains to the supporting characters and soundtrack.

For those of you who didn’t help break Netflix after Luke Cage dropped Friday, the show is set in the New York City’s Harlem, a historically black community. Therefore, having a cast of predominantly black and Latino people for the show isn’t outlandish. But apparently it’s racist, according to some Twitter users. One person actually noted the characters are mostly black and asked the tone-deaf question, “Where is the diversity?”

Lack of white people in Luke Cage makes me uncomfortable. This show is racist, how is this on Netflix???
