Just like abortion is to be defended unless talking selective sex abortions of girls.

One problem I see is that white characters are seldom written with their whiteness at the forefront, making it easier in most cases to race swap and it not affect the story.
Black characters on the other hand, especially in the past, were mostly written to be black, do black things, have black problems and have black reactions to things, making it much more difficult to do a race swap without heavily impacting the story.

Re: If it's okay to race-swap White characters, then it's okay to do it to Black ones.
Of course. It's totally ok to change Clark Kent, Peter Parker, Steve Rogers, or The Little Mermaid into a black person but omg don't do you dare change Blade into a white person or else we gonna riot and burn shit down!!

Hollywood has way more fun with whites. They get to be buffoon, prankster, hero, comedian, cocaine snorter.
Your Black Panther or Rey or Captain Marvel is only cast as role model. Role models are boring, because they have no flaws or get to enjoy hubris's.
It wasn't always like this though, many people of color and minorities used to enjoy more comedic sides.

Ranks up there with gay ppl need to be cast for gay roles, same with trans etc....all very funny, it's like the job of acting is to pretend to be other ppl......
samhein says Black identity is erased to make them race swappable, and white identity was always suppressed (Probably because jewish writers wrote mockery's of white people)

Rey and Captain Marvel are white lol. Women aren't a minority group they're 50% of the world population
Also Kevin Hart was in three films in 2019, all buffoonish comedic roles. He's not the only comedic black actor working today. What are you even talking about?
lmao
Also, what's the deal with your fixation on Jews recently? I only ask because I lived with an old school friend who became a Holocaust denier among other things, and his rhetoric started out in a similar fashion, due mostly to watching youtube vids.
Genuinely asking, not looking to start a bitchy flame war with you over it, but you've been bringing Jews up a bit lately.

I have jewish family, and know the whole "jewish illuminati" thing is bs.
I'm just against the idea that whites against everyone else is the devil against the angels, which is totally the narrative being spun. Whites oppress, minorities are the oppressed.
I mean, if that was true why are women and asians and jews outperforming white people then? More women in education, for example.
Combine that with the "bigot card" to deflect genuine criticism. Like, say, the very real fact jews make a disproportionate number of landlords, and landlords price people out by raising rent.
You may say "So what if they're jewish". To that, I say "So what if whites are overrepresented"?
If it matter in one case, it should in the other.

Was just thinking the original Colonel Tigh from Battlestar Galactica was played by Terry Carter, a black man, and was replaced with Michael Hogan, a white man for the remake series, so it does happen and it will likely occur more and more over the coming decades as they start to reboot movies and shows where the black characters aren't there to be the black characters specifically.
Personally I'd love to see Peter Dinklage in a remake of Shaft but it'll just never happen.

Like John Wayne playing Genghis Khan? That was always laughable to me, might as well have Jackie Chan playing John Gotti. An actor playing a role that was previously played by someone of a different ethnicity is different to actually having people portraying different races.
