This was written in 2015. And yet it some how hits just right at this moment.
(Captain America, who is white) “nobody dies of the flu and I can’t get arrested for marrying a black person.”
Gros Michel callout for no reason?
If you're doomscrolling, 10/10 recommend reading that instead. Anti-doom-reading!
Spoiler: Captain America is supposed to be the Perfect American. An author actually did a good job at that characterization. No sarcasm, no irony. Really.
