*sigh*
Does anyone actually like or dislike character based on what demographic they belong to? Do white fans only like Batman because he's white? Are Americans less likely to read Wolverine because he's Canadian? It drives me up the fucking wall that DC and Marvel both seem to think that they can sell comics about characters whose sole defining characteristic is what community they're supposed to represent.
And if they're trying to appeal to new audiences, then how hard is it to create a new character? But then, why bother coming up with a character whose personality and life experiences accurately reflect that particular walk of life, when you could just take an existing character, retcon their history out of existence, and exploit their name value as a cheap publicity stunt?
Also, ten bucks says it's one of the Green Lanterns.
