Unlike decades ago, in this day and age it's no longer seen as a "risk" to have characters reflect society and there's just something weird about the idea that you should not care how the character looks should that character happen to be white. Raceswapping Black Canary isn't a problem in itself, it's the philosophy behind raceswapping that fans should just accept it without question is what I believe people usually tend to have a problem with. The more fans get browbeaten that they're bad human beings if they choose to question this type of changes, the more they would keep doing it, because people generally don't like being treated like that.
