“You're from Queens, you help the poor. I thought you might be Black”
I know he's making a reference to Miles Morales but really? Is he making the assumption that White's won't help poor people or are poor themselves?

shareCobra Kai Fans Have Cast The Perfect Miles Morales For The MCU

One Twitter user, with the handle @SPIDEYJUPE, posted "kenny is giving me major miles morales vibes" along with photos of "Cobra Kai" actor Dallas Dupree Young and Miles Morales as he appeared in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." That Tweet was liked more than 850 times. User @GerryMcBride similarly wrote, "We're watching the new season of Cobra Kai and the kid who plays Kenny is an absolute shoe-in to play Miles Morales if Sony go there with the next Spidey movie. He's deadly," to the tune of 40+ likes. Users like @SimGuruArvin and @razkaii, among others, tweeted similar sentiments.
Starting in "Cobra Kai" Season 4, Young portrays a junior high student named Kenny Payne. Upon his introduction, Kenny is a little dorky — spending free time on video games or dancing to music on his headphones in public, oblivious to his surroundings — but he's also confident and big-hearted in his own way. In their Tweet arguing that Young would be right for the Miles Morales role, user @MarshallMC17 shared a gif from "Into the Spider-Verse" in which Miles dances to music coming from a pair of headphones, presumably likening Kenny's behavior in "Cobra Kai" to this particular moment.
Whether or not Young does end up as the MCU's Miles Morales, of course, depends on a multitude of factors. At the very least, many "Cobra Kai" fans seem to be in agreement that he would be well suited to the role.
It was a joke. He was hoping to have a black superhero as he is black and was hoping for some representation.
shareIts a lot simpler than that. Electro is just a racist who hates white people.
shareI don't recall anything in his backstory or behavior to suggest this.
shareRead the title of the post again.
shareIn other words, you have nothing to back up your idiotic statement. Got it.

shareEven by 2022's ridiculous standards, that isn't remotely racist. It's called humor.
Somewhere Richard Pryor is turning in his grave...
His assumption that someone is black because they're from queens and help the poor is funny? How does it even make sense? The major ethnic groups in Queens are Latino, Asian, and White.
