No the film has a black cast because it's set in Africa for the majority of it where the majority of people are black (notice how the scenes in South Korea had a lot of Korean people that's how different places in the world are) and as someone of African descent I can tell you the percentage of white people there isn't that high and most are based in the southern region countries where as BP is set in the eastern region where the are fewer whites if you're expecting it to be like the US ration of black and whites you're mistaken, it has acclaim because it's actually a good film that's what it comes down to. The BP comic books have a majority of black characters as well I think you've manufactured some issue here that doesn't exist for what ever reason, BP was hyped before the movie because of his acclaimed appearance in Civil War, he brought a Batman like vibe to the MCU.

It's an American movie where the black population is 15% yet the production crew is a far higher percentage black for this movie. It is on purpose, the director has spoken as much about it. It's openly praised for being a celebration of black culture: https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/2/23/17028826/black-panther-wakanda-culture-marvel

 

This movie is openly about empowering blacks, black culture and black narratives. That would be fine if it was equally acceptable to do that for whites, but it's not. It happens incidentally, but it would not be considered acceptable if a movie released with the specific purpose of celebrating white culture, having an all white cast in a fictional all white country and then calling it "white panther". It would be considered racist, because frankly it would be. However it should be considered the same when other groups do it.

There is double standard, period.

Movies have been celebrating white culture for decades hell many focus on the hell yeah America type theme, no one bats an eye because it's common as hell at this point you're upset over nothing here as you know what has had all white cast with white super heroes? Pretty much the majority of movies out there this is why people aren't getting your argument here want a white panther you have a number of easy examples to choose from in Captain America, Batman, Superman... the's no double standards here you've literally invented a problem that isn't there that's why it's coming across as you more having a problem that it isn't white then any true issue.
