I never even noticed he was a 'black guy' in a lead role or gave a second thought about it until you said so just now. He was (is) just 'a guy' in a lead role to me, like anyone else were 'just guys'.
Anyway about the other discussion; I don't think Disney ever said they would outright ignore the Expanded Universe and brand them all 'non-canon' outright, but rather said they wouldn't shy away from retconning anything that doesn't fit in anymore while writing the new trilogy if they find no other way around it. As it stands now, nothing indicates that anything about any of the books or games has been overwritten yet, so they still happened. We don't know enough yet to determine whether certain events from the EU are canon or not. After the Empire there are various factions that continued the use of Stormtroopers in a multitude of books and games, so nothing out of the ordinary there either. The only thing for now is the fact that Chewbacca still lives in the new movie, but I'm not too sure about the timing of that story-arc.
