IMO this movie grossed as much as it has due to an undercurrent of soft racism pervading the country directed towards whites. It doesn't change the numbers, and top 5 all time DBO is impressive, but IMO its concerning that we as a society have decided to reward some forms of racism while punishing others. If you called this the "white panther", had a cast that was openly cast BECAUSE they're white (and weren't just incidentally all white), advertised as all white the public perception would be something totally different.

Black Panther was a superhero created pre Black Panther party by a bunch of white dudes. Also it takes place in Africa, so I think it would be really weird if they are all white.

Sure, but change the setting to US, Canada or Sweden and you'd have an outcry. It doesn't matter, the idea that a movie that advertises how it's deliberately all white-cast would get killed.
