When the reaction to Black Panther wasn't putting Icon, Static, Vixen into treatments for the big screen that was the issue. When DC said Static is risky project that is the issue, When Cyborg movie gets cancel when justice league flops but not flash, aquaman, Harley quinn that is the issue. Making the one of the biggest character in comic black in that has high chance for success isn't the issue.
I say it all the time I love racing bending it is ONLY time certain fans cry for minority or original character to be used. Without the "threat" of racing bending the same fans would be saying why are they using "Signal" or "Cass Cain" in Batman movie you have to use Barbara Gordan or Tim Drake or Jason Todd first. If DC just went white Superman again they would be no cries for where is Icon, Static, Green Lantern, etc. This is true because again they took Cyborg off the slate there is no where near this much noise. Race bending is only time a large majority fans become defenders of minority legacy characters and original characters. I remember Marvel Now or I remember DC new age of heroes, I remember as recent Miles Morales getting a video game and look through a comment section, It look the same as when Miles replace Peter in Ultimate line.
Some of this push is fraudulent imo, A lot those Fans don't want Icon or John Stewart they just don't want their precious Superman touched
