Tell me about it, I'm from Ireland myself. I do find the shift of moral standard quite interesting in writing quite interesting and comics as a visual a fairly prolific visual media are really good for it. I mean back during WW2 you got such charming and clearly accurate depictions of America's perceived enemies such as this guy

And this clearly changed over time, we started getting Japanese heroes like Sunfire and while still maybe stereotypical in their relation with honour and all that, weren't the big toothed, squinty eyed communists of the past. This sort of evolution is to be expected, but what really impressed me is when I started looking into comics, I didn't find many Muslim villains despite the reaction that came out of things like 9/11 and the wars in the middle east. Instead we've been getting heroes like Dust, the new Ms. Marvel, that Agent from Avengers A.I. Marvel at least isn't presenting the same knee jerk reaction and presentation of 'America the free and the brave' as it used to.
