Racist, Anti-Islamic San Francisco Bus Ads Have Been Awesomely Defaced With Kamala Khan

Some of San Francisco’s buses are currently plastered with a series of Islamophobic “ads” that were paid for by the Freedom Defense Initiative, an anti-Islamic organization that has been labeled a hate group by the government of the United Kingdom. Some of San Francisco’s citizens, according to Street Cred – Advertising for the Community’s Facebook post, have edited some of those ads in a pretty awesome way: with Marvel’s biggest digitally selling superhero, Ms. Marvel, the alter ego of Kamala Khan, a American, first-generation-immigrant, and Muslim teen. We have only one thing to say about this, and that is Excelsior!

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
