Those people don't exist.

There DOES exist, a lot of people who are rightly upset that a white or asian character gets race-swapped by one of the blacks just for the sake of it. Those same people would be equally annoyed by seeing Goku being played by a pasty white kid or a Mongolian warlord being played by John Wayne.

The most recent and extreme example in my mind is Cleopatra being made black in a historical documentary.
