Yep, the Batman one is from Batman #472, which is all about the gang problem of Gotham and how Bruce is fighting his prejudices concerning the Afro-American youth. Real deep stuff by Steve Englehart. I’m surprised this story is still remembered.
Well that’s just the sort of thing awkward-insecure-dork-Spider-Man-in-New-Avengers would do, so I could definitely picture it happening if it hasn’t already.
When Marissa posed that last question, a bunch of white-guy stereotypes popped into my head. I honestly never thought about the meta-stereotype, but it’s so true, comics love doing that.

I know the Hal one is based from a comic, are the other two as well?

At least comics have stopped putting the word black in the name of every superhero who happens to be black.
As to the joke, I could think of about thirty times when Deadpool has made use of that stereotype.

All this is missing is a panel based on Lois Lane’s “I am Curious – Black” story.

The punchlines were pretty good, but having Josh explaining everything to the super racially sensitive Marissa just felt a little preachy to me.
But, really, when it comes to race issues, I don’t find a lot that ISN’T preachy, so it isn’t really your fault. Good comic, guys.
