I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
To make up for diversity statements?
Possibly. America Chavez is Latina, raised by two mothers, and into girls herself. (For some reason, I thought she was bisexual, but some research told me she was not into guys.)
I'm actually excited about this one! Not just because diversity, but I've loved what I've read about America so far in some Young Avengers collections.
