The Superman comic was created during a time of massive racism. Name me a major character in Superman that is a minority? I love this casting because it reflects the more modern era we live in. Back in Superman's creation black men weren't Editor-in-chief of major newspapers. Now they are.
Love.It.
Well, Franklin Stern comes to mind, but I am not sure he is major. However, if you just wanted to avoid "be more accurate to the comics" calls, what you would do is make Franklin Stern a hands-on publisher who is actually present in the news room. Although you would probably just cut out Perry White entirely.
On the other hand, Perry is essentially one of the big 4 in Superman. It is Clark, Lois, Jimmy and Perry. There is no reason to keep all 4 white, and arguably in L&C they accepted this, and cast a not-fully-white actors as Clark.
