Yes it isn't, caucasians only amount to more than 50%, with the next biggest population being hispanics. That still doesn't excuse changing the traits of established characters just to claim that they're being diverse. It doesn't excuse it but, it certainly does help to put it in perspective. I'm not a proponent or detractor of race swapping. All I can say is that when you are trying to introduce a 60-year-old character to a new generation of fans, you have to create a world that resembles the one they live in. It's a no-win situation. If you do, you're pandering (Fantastic Four). If you don't, your not inclusive (Ghost in the Shell). SaveSaveAll they had to do in Ghost in the shell was cast Asians for the Major, Batou and Kuze Everybody else could be whatever. Whitewashing the leads and throwing minorities into the minor and extras roles is a problem

So you choose the one which at least gives you a bit of silver lining, which is staying true to the character.

It's either that or make up new characters, which would just piss off the audience as well. When has introducing new characters piss off audiences more than changing already established characters? They only have so many roles in the film, and if they neglect all of Peter's usual High School characters to make new ones that aren't white then you still get complaints that they should've only used the old characters.
Use the old characters who are all white, you get complaints over how Queens' isn't like that.
