“if the movie isn’t that good, am I supposed to vote for it just because it has black people in it? I’ve got to tell you, having the cast show up in T-shirts saying “I can’t breathe” [at their New York premiere] — I thought that stuff was offensive. Did they want to be known for making the best movie of the year or for stirring up shit? ”

Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes—but you’ve probably never seen one wearing a turban. Cartoonist Vishavjit Singh is out to change that with a unique twist on an iconic costume, and a bunch of Sikh-centric pop art.
Check out this short doc on what this superhero is all about—at 2:00 he explains his art over breakfast, at 7:03 he takes his message to the streets, and at 8:15 Captain America proves there’s room for all of us in this beautiful country.
In Captain America’s words: “It’s time to kick some intolerant [butt].”
