Where the sex or amount of melanin someone has isn't a defining characteristic of the story, it just shouldn't matter if you swap genders or whatever assuming similar levels of acting ability. Disney I generally see as a corporate whore, but good on them for sticking to this. Fuck you peltz.
While I agree with what you're saying, Disney didn't change the gender or racial identities of the characters he's complaining about.
Ms. Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel are all very well cast for their roles. They're practically plucked out of the pages of the comics, and match on race and gender identity from the source.
And Black Panther is about a super hero protector of a nation of black people. The answer to this racist's question is literally in the name of the movie.
Fun trivia: Nick Fury is a white guy in the comics, but the MCU version with Jackson is so iconic I don't think anyone but the most die hard racist + comic nerd intersection people still complain about it.
Fun trivia: The Ultimate comic universe actually introduced a black Nick Fury nearly 10 years before Jackson played him on the big screen.
Even more fun fact, the Ultimate version was literally modeled after Sam Jackson so it came full circle.
