I have no problem with black superheroes and some of my favorite heroes are non-cauasian but to change a superheroes race, gender, or sexual preference just because you are too lazy to do the work to develop new characters is just wrong.
The people you should be getting pissed at is the comicbook and movie companies for just being lazy. The Black Panther is an amazing hero to push for diversity, if that is what the want, but I have yet to see him in an Avenger film or other film. Do a Blade remake. Wolverine has a trio of stand alone films, do a Storm or Bishop. Do a team up of War Machine and Falcon. Just don't change what is cannon for a story just so you can work something into your movie for the sake of appearing progressive.
