What the shit is this on my computer screen?

Via 4thletter!, a quote from a DC Comics panel touching briefly on the recent tendency to fridge CoC to make more room for the white dudes. Ian Sattler helpfully corrects the error in such thinking:

"We don’t see it that way and strive very hard to have a diverse DCU. I mean, we have green, pink, and blue characters."

What. Wot.

Whaaaaaaaaat.

Oh, DC. My head is all desky now.
Every time I read about shenanigans like this, I remember the time Paul Levitz was at the Gays in Comics panel at ComicCon and spoke so excitedly about the diversity within the company. He sounded sort of like they were collecting Pokemon. "We have an Albanian!" he said, with what I can only describe as delight, while everyone else on the panel tried desperately not to facepalm. I'm 99% sure he used the "green skin" metaphor, too. Or no- I think it was pink hair. Maybe both! Cluelessness, from the top down!

Maaaaaaaan. And I was already fighting not to be annoyed at Levitz because of the bringing back the 1960s Legion thing that wasn't actually his idea.
