I remember that, at about the same time, Frank Miller was getting some flack in Daredevil for having a fair number of the street thugs in the book be black. Readers were complaining in the lettercols that it was racist.

The editor wrote back: right or wrong, there are black people who are criminals, just as there are white people who are criminals. To show only white criminals would be no less racist.
