-I have been so tired this week, I haven't been running. After an abysmal attempt I made on Sunday evening, I'm giving myself a pass. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday will see me back on the horse. As it were.

(Note: Article bizarrely forgets that Wolverine is Japanese-Canadian.)

Blame whoever cast Hugh Jackman.

Ooh, well-played.

Yeah, he was awesome in that role, but a 5'3 half-Japanese man, he isn't.

Geek hat on!

Actually, Wolverine is full Caucasian Canadian. However, his son Dakken, the "Dark Wolverine", is half Japanese.

Man, revoke my nerd card! I swear I thought he was half-Japanese.

The first three I thought of were Karma, Sunfire, and Collen Wing; I feel strangely relieved that only one is a martial artist.

Ryan Choi (not a martial artist), Katana (a martial artist), Cheshire (a poisoner, but also a martial artist), were the first three I thought of. I did think of Psylocke (who is discussed at length as a weird border case). I hadn't realized that Connor Hawke was supposed to be at all non-white--I didn't know anything about his mother--but he still occurred to me.

The Great 10 are all Chinese, and only one of them is a martial artist, which is a typical percentage for a DC superteam (or possibly even low).

What's your beef with Feministe? (I don't follow it, but I'm curious.)
