Minorities flip out if roles are whitewashed too. Just saying.
Thing is this is a character like Bond who has had years of longevity--- a popular character too. This isn't like changing the race of a character who not a lot of people are familiar with or has only been in comics for a few years, or will shrug their shoulders and go, "Oh well...."
GA probably has no clue who Ned Leeds, Herman Schultz/Shocker or some of the other characters are, but Mary Jane Watson... GA and the public know right away who that is. There's the difference. Look at what happened with Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm and having Sue be adopted. It's changing for the sake of changing versus respecting the source. Huge difference.
If Goku/Bulma/Major Motoko Kusanag/The Ancient One/Tonto/All of Exodus & Gods of Egypt can be white then they can change freaking Mary Jane.
Boo Hoo a black girl gets kidnapped by the super villain instead of a white one the plot is ruined forever
