black people are excited about black panther not because its lead is a “person of color”. it’s because its lead is black and there’s a healthy amount of black women in it that have prominent roles. 

i know there was that huge thing about whether or not wonder woman’s actress is a woman of color–and how that should be progressive for all women–but at the end of the day, even if you call her a woc, that’s still not representation for black people, specifically black women. so yeah, clearly we’re going to celebrate the movie that actually has us in prominent roles and make jokes about how black panther is a better movie for us.
