Sure, if you don't give a shit about how long-established characters are so deeply ingrained in our culture then yeah, I suppose you wouldn't think it's a big deal.
And honestly, we have a hell of a lot more important issues currently to worry about. Like fascistic vaccine mandates being pushed in the name of "the greater good" and traitorous generals telling our number one enemy that he would warn them if our president decided to attack them and that he wouldn't follow thru with Trump's order.
Oh, and of course there are also huge problems like inflation, 13 servicemen being killed and billions of dollars worth of military equipment being handed over to Taliban because we have a dementi-ridden chinese puppet for a president, an overrun border with hundreds of thousands of unvetted migrants coming in to our country (who, strangely enough, aren't being forced to take vaccines or being forced to take a test), gas shortages, civil liberties infringement by a tyrannical chinese controlled commander-in-chief,....
....and let's not forget the thousands of defenseless unborn babies being murdered in this country every single damn day in the name of "muh women's rights her derp!"
So yeah, you're right, this issue of white characters being portayed by black actors and actresses is trivial in comparison.

I dont think it's ok to race swap either way. As a black man myself,I would like characters who originally black to stay black eg Black Adam. But on the white side, rather than make a white character black,a new character could be better depending on who it is.
I'm 100% sure you made this because of the upcoming black superman show,lol
I mean Kalel(Earth 23) has been around for over a decade now(2009). Even if people don't know that there is a legitimate black Superman, they should know that within comics weither it be DC, Marvel, Image, Darkhorse whatever etc. They should know the concept of Multiverse, even without comic knowledge, just general concept of Multiverse would do.
In that, there are different universes and thus there can be completely different versions of someone and those differences can be anything.
Especially since Marvel has become a pop culture thing, then people should definitely know, considering their What If series going on.
Now sure, if they did this to replace a mainstream character IE: Take Superman of Earth Prime and just switched his skin color. Then sure, I guess I could see where it would bug people.
But if it's another Superman entirely from a different Earth, I don't see an issue.
