Listen, this thing is blown out of proportion. I use a term called 'Mirror Asthetics' when thinking about casting for comic movies. When you have a front an center character, you need a good match physically for it to get that come alive feel. There of course exceptions to this. Such as second or third teir characters. Or, they are simply trying to make the character cooler than it has been. Like Ronin being Aquaman.

Also, lets remember that when directors are trying to be PC or sensitive they can still mess up. Like making Tilda Swinton the Ancient One when Michelle Yeoh would had been great.

So, let's just back off about the race part of casting being truly about racism. It's about recreation and brand recognition.
