    So it's racist for two people of the same color taking an interest in each other, if they're black. But if they're races, it's a-okay. Got it.

    Don't read too much into it man. It's a superhero show and comic fans tend to find any little thing about said show to complain about.

    But younger and less mature...You can call it trife but I call it refreshing to have a little black on black interest in a cartoon. Hell I don't recall ever seeing it in a cartoon not even Static Shock.

    The funny thing is Aqualad was already in an interracial relationship at the start of the series, or at least had feelings for a girl of another race.

    She left him for a white guy, is that racist too?

    I really wouldn't put too much stock on that, I mean Wally fancies artemis and she's half asian and before that he was into Meg who's green. I think it's really just about the characters in YJ. Oo

    Well technically Aqualad is mixed-race as well, his mother is a blond fair-skinned Atlantean:

    I was wondering if anyone else was going to remember that.

    So I just picked up the Icon trade today and I have to say that so far I am really enjoying the characters of Icon and Rocket. I would love to see some of their back story shown in young justice at this point.

    Is this woman why his hair looks so horrible in the show?! Jackson Hyde in brightest day looked awesome but then again I may be biased because we share a hair style.

    Well... hair color and style. I just think it looks lame compared to his comic counterpart.
