    Even if it's a cartoon, it's still bad.

    1) John Stewart has been a Green Lantern for decades now in the comics.

    2) I haven't seen this, but in general DC animated features are better
    than their live action ones.

    Some of the animated Batman movies are really outstanding.

    Agreed. Now if they had made Hal Jordan a black man then there would
    be grounds for being upset but Stewart is a different guy with a very
    different back story from Jordan.

    It's worth checking out.

    Yep, unlike a single entity such as Superman, the "Green Lantern" is a
    group of various beings from various planets who each have been given a
    power ring, so a new character with a new name, race, gender, etc.
    doesn't matter.

    It becomes ridiculous when they gender and/or race swap an existing
    character simply to appease the Politically Correct whiners. Examples
    would be the female Thor, the female and now black Doctor Who, etc.

    Jane Foster (created by Stan Lee) first appeared in Thor comics in 1962
    as the love interest of Dr. Donald Blake, the secret identity of the
    Norse god superhero Thor. In 2014 (written by Jason Aaron) she becomes
    Thor after the classic hero is no longer able to wield Mjolnir.

    Jason Aaron: This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This
    is not Thorita. This is Thor. This is the Thor of the Marvel
    Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.

    I'd also like to point out the regeneration of Gallifreyan Time Lords
    was established fairly early in the series to potentially include
    non-human forms, and gender was shown to be malleable in how The
    Doctor's nemesis The Master regenerated as female (also 2014).
    The skin tone is after all a pretty minor thing here.

    The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is
    itself a political attitude.
    -- George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair, 1903-1950):
    Why I Write, 1946

    Comics and TV series have always been political. The question you’re
    perhaps asking is "since when did they become so lazy about it?"
