Because Drew Carey is too old and too out of shape and T'challa's race is tied directly to his character whereas Johnny Storm, Jimmy Olsen, and Deadshot's characters have nothing to do with them being white. Because adapting a character for the screen with colorblind casting increases the representation of marginalized groups, while whitewashing further marginalizes them.

And you're still ignoring the fact that there is, in fact, a white Black Panther in canon. So "Why can't Black Panther be white?" is a shitty rebuttal when it's been done over a decade ago and no one made a fuss.
