I’m writing a story about a biracial superhero. He’s in his 20s, and his dad is a extremely wealthy Black businessman. His mom is Japanese, and she comes from a wealthy family. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is something about his family’s history that resurfaces, and it connects to his powers. He is basically trying to find out what it is. My friend says the story is stupid and no one would want to read it.

Listen here you stupid moron.
Do whatever the fuck you want with your life (provided you don't hurt anybody.).
If you want to write a book about something, do your homework, talk to whoever you think you should but in the end, do only what YOU think will make you happy.
There are mfs out there who send in AI slop to scientific journals and still get published & cited.
Stan-fucking-lee introduced us to a bunch of superheroes. He did what he loved well before anybody took notice. You do what you love, regardless of what your stupid friend says. Your friend should warn of dangers, yes. But your friend should be by your side to hold you, in case you fail.
Just one thing, always endeavour to be the best at what you do. If you want to bake cookies, be the best cookie chef of your time. If you want to suck ass, be the best at sucking ass. If you want to be the best superhero writer, be the fucking best superhero writer.
Now stop wasting your time listening to dim-wits on the internet like myself and go work on your dreams.
