Not so bad. That movie had the elements to at least be entertaining. The young

It used to be sad that in some eras, light skin was associate with wealth and
power, because people who had to labour in fields were darkened by the sun.
Hence, darker skin indicated less noble backgrounds. I know, for example, that

Our own people is also guilty of this. When the black film industry started
over time the stars became lighter and lighter. Lena Horne (may she RIP) and
other starlets were often chosen over darker skinned beauties that were just
as talented. That has mostly gone away culturally for our people but

No, the comic was Static. The cartoon was named Static Shock.
Estevez seems to have been more focused on proclaiming his Mexican heritage.
Charlie Sheen changed his name of course to make it easier to get work back in
