Too much politically correct?

Why change characters' ethnicity?

Editorial Opinion

First, my apologies for eventual spelling and grammar's mistake. Some of you know I'm from Italy. Then.. My editorial's title says everything. You all are Americans, and probably with more and more multi-ethnic culture than a European. People know it's important to safeguard minority groups. But is it so necessary to apply this concept even in an art form, such as a movie,that at its origin was made differently?

Do you think, for example, having a fourth black Ghostbuster, Alicia masters, Nick Fury, Catwoman, Kingpin, a black Harvey Dent in the first "Batman" movie, and Morgan Freeman in the last one, or two totally reinvented characters in "Twilight" movie that were not in the book could really help our society a little bit? Is it really necessary? I love Rhodes,or Blade. And love every single comic character in the way they were created.
