	Mr. Martillo,

	Although this has been written before, in others' responses to
    your articles, I would like to repeat it in my own words to perhaps
    make it more clear to you:



	Marvel does not write stories about jews, italians, blacks,
    russians, chineese, japaneese, irish, english, french, arabs,
    indians, austrailians, or any other ethnic group.

	They write about Americans.

	(trite though this may sound)



	And until you can fully understand this fact, you will never
    understand America.   People here are (ideally) thought of as
    individuals, not races, colors, or creeds -- although I will be
    the first to admit that there is some backsliding now and then.

	So please take you predijuce elsewhere.   It smacks of
    everything we've been trying to get rid of in this country since
    Lincon.
