Man, the condescension in this article was hard to make it through. Wakanda, really?

It only mentions it in the first few paragraphs. Not the greatest framing, but it's a pretty interesting article over all.

Yep. Entirely offensive.
"This nation is a copy of a Marvel concept, but predates it" is also a really awkward framing.
And calling Roosevelt's speeches "cynical" because they were critical was ridiculous, too.
Honestly, the article smacked of someone who didn't know much except pop culture, read about this somewhere else, cribbed a lot of language, and pretended to know something about history.
