As your response to my comments demonstrates. As I pointed out, you're pretty much indulging in a dictionary-perfect example of "First World Problems," attacking people who were, by the standards of the time, ardent liberals, doing ardently liberal things like presenting an integrated, international, interracial team of superheroes, because one character isn't as blandly, snooze-inducingly perfect as you want her to be.

This from the guy who whines about Storm appearing "barefoot and topless" in an African tribal setting.

If you want to argue that the racial politics involved in Beetz's casting didn't contribute to the sequence of events that resulted in an inexperienced stuntwoman being killed because she was hired on the basis of her race rather than her suitability for the job, then you have no grounds to criticize anyone on the basis of "logic."

As for her backstory being stereotypical, frankly, it's fictional, so I don't care one bit. Not to mention she is such a well written character that she goes beyond the stereotypes. She's basically to Marvel what Apu is to The Simpsons. A well developed, fully fleshed out, strong character who overcomes the stereotypes by being well written.

"Stereotype" literally means a "true (solid/tangible/three-dimensional) impression" of a given thing.
