I literally have several times now. You just aren't paying attention. We live in a society where racial representation and diversity in film is a huge hot button topic, so yes, there is going to be a belief that making an existing minority character into a white guy is problematic while the opposite is not.

Perhaps if superhero films hadn't been so predominately white and male that wouldn't be the way things are, but that's the way it is. That is why nobody has a problem casting minorities to play Nick Fury or Jimmy or Aquaman.

That's the way it is. Note this is not just me, this it he people in charge. There's a reason they got Chadwick Boseman to play Black Panther but didn't mind casting Idris Elba or Will Smith or Samuel L. Jackson. One is gonna make them look good (or just get them the best actor for the part), the other is gonna make them look like they're contributing to a larger problem.

Again, that should be pretty obvious.
