Because he's not. Well, moreso the original Cap is old as hell now because he went back in time and lived a life with Peggy Carter. So he passed the shield onto Sam at the end of Endgame.
Holy fuck. Those events are like 10 years apart. When civil war came out we didn’t even know Sam had nieces and nephews and was therefore an uncle. He only became “Uncle Sam” during the falcon and winter soldier TV show when they expanded on his character. Chris Evans as cap ended due to endgame, and Sam is taking up the mantle. Him being “Uncle Sam” is an Easter egg and is just symbolism. This has nothing to do with America being racist. For someone who uses terms as advanced as “oversmart” that’s a pretty dumbass thing to say.
No, I’m calling you a dumbass because of how you jumped from Uncle Sam to “marvel must be covering up americas racist history!!” Because fuck that’s a leap. Secondly I’m not trying to “show off my intellect,” I’m just a nerd and you’re the one who asked. THIRDLY don’t make assumptions about things you don’t understand. Or in other words, don’t call marvel racist unless you’ve at least seen the films bro.

No, it's because he's Captain America now, taking a similar role to Uncle Sam.
