Ms. Marvel and exposing the systemic colorism displayed by Comicsgate bigots

So I’m about to go off on a bit of a tangent here, but for the longest time, one of the things that’s constantly enraged me about Richard C. Meyer, one of the lead ringleaders of the Neo-Nazi hate movement Comicsgate, is a particular aspect of his bigotry towards the character Ms. Marvel (aka, Kamala Khan). An element of Meyer's Islamophobic attacks against Kamala that repeatedly occurs throughout all his terrible videos bashing her comics is his repeated accusation that Kamala “doesn’t even look Pakistani.”

Yes... seriously... Richard Meyer, an cis straight white male, believes that he has the authority to claim what does and does not qualify as "looking Pakistani."

It's just as cringeworthy and racist as you can possibly imagine.

So the basis of Meyer's fallacious accusation that Kamala doesn't "look Pakistani" is simply because the artists of her comics depict her as has having either dark brown or black hair along with her brown skin. Heck, Meyer has not only stated that Kamala & her family instead look “vaguely Arabic or foreign," (essentially repeating the racist talking point of all Muslim countries being culturally and ethnically monolithic), but in one of his videos he even went as far as to accuse Kamala of looking like "a white girl who spray-tanned herself to look brown."

Essentially, Meyer is accusing a Pakistani character who was created by Muslim and POC creators of engaging in literal brown face. Not only is this accusation incredibly racist, but it doesn't even made any sense whatsoever since Kamala & her family have always been depicted as being of South Asian or Desi descent. Furthermore, Kamala was explicitly modeled after her co-creator and editor Sana Amanat, who is herself a Desi Pakistani-American woman.

For the longest time I was completely dumbfounded and confused as to where Meyer was even getting these offensive ideas from. However, a few years ago I think I discovered one of the potential underlying one of the reasons as to why Meyer believes that Kamala doesn’t look “Pakistani.” And it's a reason which goes deeper than simply being a byproduct of Meyer's own ignorance and racism.

See, a lot of South Asian countries, including Pakistan, actually have a big problem in regards to issues of colorism. It's actually gotten to the point where skin-lightening creams are repeatedly advertised and marketed towards women since lighter skin is considered by some to be more 'beautiful, and this mindset can be heavily traced back to British colonialism in the Indian subcontinent.

The Ms. Marvel comics themselves even briefly commentated on the issue of colorism in Pakistan when Kamala’s older brother Aamir got engaged to Tyesha, who is a black woman, challenging his parents desire about wanting him to marry a fellow Pakistani. Even when Kamala & Aamir's parents came around to accepting and embracing Tyesha as their future daughter in-law, Aamir still expressed anxiety over whether or not his other relatives would hold anti-black attitudes towards Tyesha or any biracial children they might someday have.

Sadly, colorism is such a widespread issue in South Asian countries that if you simply search for pictures of Pakistani women on Google Images, you’re bound to find tons of photographs of Pakistani women who have used said-skin-lightening creams. So overall, considering the historical context of colorism in countries like Pakistan, combined with Richard C. Meyer's own Islamophobic biases and his inability to do basic research on other cultures and ethnicities, I think it’s fair to assume that historical and contemporary colorism could have influenced Meyer's bigoted accusations of "Kamala and her family not even looking Pakistani."

Here are a few articles written by Pakistani women which go into much greater detail about the damaging effects that colorism in particular has had in South Asian countries:

This connection between contemporary South Asian colorism and Meyer's Post-9/11 Islamophobia further reinforced by the other examples in which he openly engages in inaccurate stereotyping of all Muslim countries being culturally monolithic. The most egregious example of this is undoubtedly Meyer's open demonization of Kamala's aforementioned older brother Aamir. Meyer constantly refers to Aamir as "looking like a shepherd" simply due to him wearing traditional Islamic attire in the form of a white thobe and taqiyah cap. He even outright, and inaccurately, calls Aamir an "ISIS bomber" in one of his awful videos, even outright stating, "Yes I'm profiling.”

He has attempted to justify his Islamophobia by stating that there’s no other reason for Aamir to wear such clothing, lying to his audience that said-clothing "shows that Aamir is unwilling to integrate into American society and therefore he should be viewed with suspicion."

Where do I even begin with how racist this is?! First of all, there are plenty of Muslim Americans in the real world who wear the type of clothing Aamir wears for various religious reasons, including adhering to more orthodox beliefs or trying to emulate the Prophet Muhammad, such as the Salafi branch of Islam which Aamir adheres to. Secondly, Aamir is portrayed throughout Ms. Marvel as being a genuinely kind person despite being more traditional and conservative, someone who cares deeply for his little sister and family. Additionally, during the Last Days arc Aamir is kidnapped and forcibly given superpowers by the Inhuman extremist Kamran (aka, Kamala's evil ex-boyfriend) who's playing into Islamophobic assumptions about more traditional Muslims being more likely to engage in terrorist violence. But Aamir completely rejects the tired stereotypes that Kamran is projecting onto him, even outright stating that he doesn't want superpowers and is already happy with who and where he is in life.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Meyer stating that an individual should be profiled simply on the basis of his religious clothing is on the same level of awfulness as when Frank Miller inferred in Holy Terror that all Muslim foreign exchange students should automatically be viewed as terrorists in disguise and, therefore, are to be treated with suspicion and hatred. And Franky-Boy communicates this disgusting marriage through the scene of the foreign exchange student Amina (who just so happens to be named after the Prophet Muhummad's mother... classy...) repaying a lesbian woman's hospitality by suicide-bombing both said-lesbian and a crowded party full of dozens of other civilians:

It's blatant Islamophobia and disgusting propaganda on Miller's part.

So when Meyer not only describes Aamir as "looking like a terrorist" or "dressing and acting like a freaking Taliban" simply due to his clothing, but even outright states "yes I'm profiling" whilst making these comments, Meyer is treating Aamir's character with suspicion and hate simply because of his traditionalist Muslim clothing. Just like Frank Miller does with framing Amina the exchange student as a mass-murdering suicide bomber in Holy Terror. These are all classic racist Post-9/11 Islamophobic talking points derived from American imperialism, which are intrinsically connected to the racist promotion of colorism and skin-lightening creams in South Asian countries derived from British colonialism. Negative stereotypes which both Aamir's character and Ms. Marvel as a whole actively refuted throughout the runs by G. Willow Wilson & Saladin Ahmed:

In other words, screw Richard C. Meyer and his blatant Islamophobia. Comicsgate is a hate group, and any and all criticisms they have made against books like Ms. Marvel are simply trojan horses designed to indoctrinate their audience with far-right talking points and prejudices. Prejudices which have their roots in both modern imperialism and historical colonialism which has negatively impacted the peoples of South Asian and Middle Eastern countries.

Wait... I thought Alizeh was upset she wasn't playing Urwa's main role in Rangreza?

no, alyzeh wouldn’t have been offered that role because she has no prior acting experience while urwa is a well-recognized/established actress. so, it just doesn’t seem worth investing in alyzeh as the lead. plus, it was sana javed who was offered urwa’s role first but she left due to Mehrunisa V Lub U. 

i just hope the hot models as the antagonist to the main female lead doesn’t become a trend in pakistani cinema.

Ms. Marvel: A Super Representation in Trying Times

America’s sole Muslim superheroine, Kamala Khan, made a cultural splash when “Ms. Marvel” was rebooted in 2014. Replacing the blonde hair, blue eyed bombshell, Carol Danvers, was the awkward Pakistani-American teenager. Kamala’s obsession with comics and struggles with parental oversight, however, make the unique hero more familiar than different.

Despite her misunderstood and painfully bacon-free lifestyle, when Kamala fulfills her fantasy of assimilation early on in the series, she finds that “being someone else isn’t liberating—it’s exhausting.” Along with Kamala’s quest to fight baddies is the search for strength to accept her distinctions, and her spot in a solo series welcomes America to do the same.

Khan represents a positive perception of Muslim Americans, her life outside of the alter ego showing one of any normal, superhero obsessed kid. The series quickly becomes an empathetic look into the life of most Muslims in America, normalizing not only Khan but Islam in general. “Ms. Marvel” creates understanding alongside a true portrayal of Muslim practices. The more religious Muslims in Kamala’s family even possess traditional values that conservative America probably identifies with.

Kamala has become an obvious poster child against Muslim discrimination in the newest administration. As a sexed-down superhero who can be a tangible and positive role model for young girls, Ms. Marvel signs showed up at Women’s Marches across the country the day after the inauguration. Her role in the Marvel universe has become even more crucial in the wake of the recent Muslim ban by Trump, and her representation in this sphere is more crucial than ever.

In her fight to save the world, Kamala speaks for the more literal Muslim heroes who are affected by these policies IRL. While the ban’s intentions are to keep out Islamic terrorists, they more so affect the innocent folks, even those who have risked their lives to help keep America safe in the Middle East. In direct effect of the ban, Iraqi translator Hameed Khalid Darweesh was held in custody at JFK airport for 19 hours. Even before these restrictions, and despite serving and saving U.S. forces in Iraq for a decade, Darweesh’s visa vetting process still took two years, requiring an in-person interview and several background checks.

Some who have lost the most for the U.S., however, haven’t been so lucky. After her house had been bombed and her husband’s business taken over by militants, Sarah (her nickname, real name disclosed out of safety) took up a job as an interpreter. Her soothing voice gave frightened citizens the courage to talk, cracking even the toughest cases, and making her one of the best. However, her position led to the death of not only her husband but also an informant. The struggle only began there, for when she attempted to apply for a special U.S. visa, she was thrown into jail due to a false anonymous tip, and all her cash had been stolen. After 8 years, multiple attempts, and several interviews, Sarah was denied entry into America again last year for “discretion for security-related reasons.“

While the series did release an issue urging citizens of New Jersey (and ultimately readers all across America) to get out and vote, “Ms. Marvel” itself didn’t specify political affiliations. However, “Ms. Marvel” editor and co-creator Sana Amanat, whose experience as a Muslim kid in post-9/11 NYC informed the series, had some ideas on what Khan may say to Trump. On “Late Night with Seth Meyers” last year, she said:

“The first thing that [Kamala] would say is, you’re doing such irreparable damage to young Americans, and minorities everywhere. Words and images are very powerful, and these young kids are actually having a perception of themselves that [is] not true, and that’s so dangerous.”

Other Marvel crew have voiced opinions, using Khan as their spokesperson, such as legendary artist Phil Noto. He revised the “Civil War II” #0 cover art in response to Trump’s recent ban, showing Kamala ripping a picture of the POTUS instead of Captain Marvel.

Aamir’s marriage to Tyesha, a West African woman, in issue #6 of the comic’s second arc, is a great metaphor of the cultural gaps the series hopes to close. Donned surprisingly in each other’s traditional formal attire, the couple builds the ultimate bridge of understanding and acceptance for merging separate cultures. Aamir and Tyesha’s union illustrates how compromise prevails, and that love will always trump hate.
