If it was a skinny nerdy black kid I wouldn't care about the skin colour either, because they would at least be embracing his personality.
I'm all for diversity, but why the hell didn't they make Winn black and have Jeremy Jordan play Jimmy Olsen. Or make the black character someone different altogether. We don't need Jimmy Olsen on this show. -

I'm not a fan of the story, either. It has way too much focus. They need to drop it and think of something else for the character, or write him off. I've liked this season and the other stories so far, but the Guardian stuff has really been weighing the episodes down. I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea lol. Does anyone like it or care about it??

Oh, Thank God I am not the only who thinks this, and I like you have said it doesn't have anything with his skin color, he could be green, purple, whatever color and his story is still stupid and unnecessary, he is okay like a background character, maybe he could do something about all the bad publicity the aliens are getting thanks to Cadmus I mean he has Cat position and power, he could do everything for them from behind the desk but nooo, he has to play the hero, overshadowing Supergirl, Alex, Maggie and J'onn. Please scrap the character and making him to Gotham or move back to Metropolis.

Nothing against the actor who plays Jimmy. He might very attractive looking - oh what a suprise with a sixpack but I also thought he should be white. Specially when there was a rumor who would play Superman. At one point they have wanted Tom Welling back (from "Smallville").
What he should say when he meet Jimmy? - we remember : one of the Ashmore Twin's played Jimmy in "Smallville".
Superman/Clark Kent: "Oh Jimmy what happened to you..? you've changed the skin color"
Jimmy: I was transformed in a superchangebox by a supervillain.
Actually When I watched the Pilot and the first episode I thought: how bad this was made. Winn knows about Kara from the beginn.
For my taste: the rushed by far to fast into this.
An nothing against Calista Flockart. She's a good actress - but while watching - it feels like watching a Calista Flockart Show and NOT Supergirl -

I'm all for keeping things as close to canon as possible, but your argument falls flat because of a simple detail:
This is a different continuity (hell, a different Multiverse) than
Smallville
.
You're suffering from delusions of adequacy.

I agree, totally. I mean I started liking the idea of a tall, handsome and confident and suave guy who doesn't wear a dorky bow tie. But these last episodes I am more then ever wish they didn't change him into this. I want the old Jimmy back.
