Not a fan of race swapping characters in either direction, not a fan at all. If you want more representation for minority races in film/tv/games, then don't race swap characters in established IP's, instead create original IP's or new characters within an established IP (only if it makes sense within the lore of that IP, don't pull an Amazon LOTR Rings of Power situation). And if you're adapting something that has black characters and purposefully casting the lightest skinned, heavily mixed race black people you can find in order to make the movie more palatable in China or something, that is also not cool.
