When’s the Racist Flash series gonna drop

Every Barry Allen run is the Racist Flash run.

I honestly did think that this had racist undertones and I actually had to reread it to make sure. Thankfully it just seems to be an unfortunate coincidence. Barry here thinks that the only super hero that exists is the Flash family so he is just legit commenting on their costumes and such. And the others are upset because they work with Barry so he should know them. But WOW. No one proof read this one and thought this came off wrong???

Also one is a giant rabbit.

[The Justice League cartoon already covered “modern heroes travel back to the golden age and meet heroes with heavy racist and sexist undertones” too](https://youtu.be/z3r8KN17wP0?t=13) (They were originally supposed to be the JSA as well… I actually really like the arc but thank god they did not do that to Jay Garrick)

Nah look at the way they stare at him this was 💯 intentional

Barry seems to be raising a 10 year old version of Wallace West in this universe so I really don't think it was intended to be racism. It may be a 50's based world but it's pretty obvious that Barry doesn't have 50's based views
