New Spider-Man Rant

Ok, I just read this article about the "Passing of the Mantle" or the "Changing of the Guard" of Spider-Man. Nothing wrong with that unless you want to count that he's biracial. Meet Mile Morelas, Ladies and Gentlemen who is half black and half latino(a good combination if you ask me, a bit of fire and a bit of FU) he's taken Peter Parker's place as your neighborhood friendly Spider-Man. But don't freight, Peter Parker is still alive in the Ultimate Universe this is just the standard universe or Earth 1 Spidey we're talking about. Now this has generated ALOT of concern to the loyal comic book fans of Marvel. Basically saying that Peter Parker is and forever will be Spider-Man, this is coming from whites, blacks, and....biracials. Personally I feel kinda mix: 1 Peter Parker IS Spider-Man 2 I'm all for ethnic superheroes, I feel like there's not enough of them. Having a biracial Spider-Man taking center stage who may open doors for more ethnic superheroes to come out of the woodwork. Hell, they made me question there choice to play Susan Storm in the Fantastic 4 movie with Jessica Alba(who is Latino) playing the role and Chris Evens(Cap) as Johnny her brother. Either mommy was sleeping or daddy's been fucking. IDK! Just don't get too carried away Marvel.
