Agreed, it seems so racist to me

What comes off as amazingly racist is that they didn't make a black version of Wally West, they made a stereotypical Hollywood "troubled black youth" and then named him Wally West.

And they may not even realise the implications of that.

They have rewritten white youths as more criminal in their reboot, too. Bart Allen and Billy Batson come to mind. I think they just like making everyone "troubled" and a bit lawless. So, if they were going to do that to Wally anyway, I guess having him be black gets them points for diversity?

I wonder if they'd think that because I liked the old Wally, with his middle-class wife from Iowa and two mixed-race kids, that makes me class-prejudiced.
