Agreed, the Comics Code is all about Think of the Children!... Anti-violence and sex, and pro-morality.
I could interpret that statement as "The people of the CCA would not approve such a thing", instead of "The Comics Code doesn't allow such a thing".

Yeah, i would remove that.
Characters like Luke Cage and Black Panther had comics during the CCA days.
Thanks, that's what I thought. I removed this part.
There was a famous incident when EC Comics were told to change the race of a black lead character because"You can't have a negro". This was likely a reference to that, though it was never a formal rule and is the only such incident I could find.
The page for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has a recent edit about the Comics Code Authority, adding that among things that it wouldn't have authorized is "having a non-white hero protagonist".
Now, I don't know all the intricacies, and I don't doubt that would be against publishers' habits at the time the Code was applied, but I have serious doubts it was actually part of said Code itself. At least I don't find anything about it on the Wikipedia article
. I'd like some clarification about this.
