I would also like to add, he was introduced, like this, while the USA was not in the war, and was selling weapons to Germany -among other things. It was a very dangerous, very unpopular statement to make at the time. People love to do the âpunch Hitlerâ thing now, but when Captain America was first released with this cover, this was an extremely controversial statement.Â
Captain America was created in direct response to how the USA was reacting to the war at the time as a direct call to action against injustice specifically. Created by two Jewish men who were very much affected by all of this. They specifically designed him to look like he did because that was the ââAryan Idealââ as part of that statement. That is why they made him blond, blue-eyed, white, tall, and muscular. They also called him âCaptain Americaâ to implicitly tie the United States to this statement. This was a metaphor of âThe USA has to stop letting others be hurt, itâs time to step up and do somethingâ.
Itâs not only insensitive to erase that, itâs Antisemitic to call a Jewish-made character that was a political statement against antisemitism in the 1940â˛s by people who were fed up with watching their loved ones die while people said they âshouldnât get involvedâ in a massive, global genocide attempt a âsymbol of military industrial complex imperialism and nationalismâ when he was made as a symbol of resistance and a call to fight fascism and antisemitism.
