"unintented racial stereotypes" - I like how Marvel is facing this stuff head on. People sometimes forget that many of these comic characters were dreamed up by a handful of white guys living in NYC in the 50s and 60s. There was no real outright racism but plenty of ignorance and naivete. They didn't really stop to analyze characters to see if they might be inaccurate or potentially offensive like we would expect today. They just drew what they thought was cool and guessed about how these characters might talk and act.
Too many "fans" get caught up in the idea that studios are trying to PC their beloved comic characters and stories etc. but in reality it's usually just a case of characters being re-imagined with modern understanding of cultures that these nerdy artists in the 50s didn't have an inkling into.
In some cases the race, gender or culture of a character is relevant to the story/character. In other cases it's not. Captain America (the original WWII version) *needs* to look like the Aryan ideal - essentially as an ironic "screw you" to the Nazis he fought. Magneto *needs* to be holocaust survivor if you're going to really explain why he's so terrified of the way humans fear mutants. Black Panther of course needs to be African and mix advanced knowledge/technology with ancient traditions.
Good on Marvel for genuinely trying to pay homage to the comic history while "fixing" anything that the creators simply weren't aware were wrong with the initial characters.
