Or will that be considered insensitive or something like costume appropriation?

Doubt the parents that raise this question seriously would take them to see a movie with an all black cast anyways.

Why would a white kid want to dress as that when there are perfectly fine and respectable Captain America costumes ?

I don't see why not. He's a character, it's not the same as using blackface and saying you're going to be a black guy for Halloween.

If they dress as Black Panther, nobody will be able to tell what race they are.

At the very least it will be considered "problematic". Most likely it will be considered cultural appropriation and/or compared to blackface.

What if it was just the mask and gloves package?

Also what if the parent is white, showing skin, and they had a child leash on their kid dressed as Black Panther.

That's the intelligent reaction, but people who obsess about identity politics are seldom intelligent.

Black kid dresses as Superman: "Wow, how progressive!"
White kid dresses as Black Panther: "How dare your racist parents allow you to dress as him? That infringes on the cultural pride we have as black people!!!"

Seriously. Will happen eventually.

While that pic is contrived, you completely missed the point. When you are a minority, and you finally get representation, that person holds a very special place in your heart. Seeing someone get the last of something that means more to you is a terrible feeling.

Iirc that image is taken from an article wherein the author explicitly says there's no issue with white kids dressing up as black panther, just disingenuous right wingers keep sharing it without context.

To be fair Black Panther's blackness is a huge part of the character, not so with Superman and whiteness.

But it is important to understand that most black people didn't care about Black Panther/T'Challa or any other black character that fits whatever definition of "superhero" until very recently. "Superheroes" are just one specific genre of entertainment.

The roundabout justifications and excuses for what effectively amounts to segregation these days.

not so with Superman and whiteness.


It was kind of central to Superman as well, considering it was part of the all-American look at the time. Additionally, part of his creation was done to specifically avert the "-American", which was strictly a white thing since blacks were just called blacks at the time.

Where are you going with that argument? Are you arguing that because collectively they're late adopters they should be more entitled to it? Because that's kind of a weird position. If anything, you've kinda argued that Black Panther is a "white thing" rather than a black thing.

Do people seriously think this is the first movie with a black hero?


tbh, Meteor Man will always be my favorite black superhero movie.
