When did Slashdot become a proxy for shill political endorsements? So what if a candidate makes a talking point about this. Uber has lobbyists and now is winning over candidates. Sorry, this is not news.

Completely agree with mod. How is this event relevant? Some comic convention hero jumps on the racism bandwagon for a popular seeries, it ends up front page here. Us nerds need better news. What we have here is old and busted. PC pansies thought it was racist when it came out, how has anything remarkable changed or been added to that makes this conversation move valuable?
