Original Note:
John Stewart’s creators designed him to be explicitly dark skinned due to few black characters in comics. Aaron Pierre has a visibly lighter complexion next to his comic counterpart. Colorism is very common in the entertainment industry, and castings like this are harmful. https://x.com/thatcomicfan3/status/1844060106440491065?s=46&t=dIcz0veQ9CqsG6wCOU_I3A https://www.teenvogue.com/story/hollywoods-colorism-problem-cant-be-ignored
