I wonder if these are the same people who whined about DC casting a black woman to play an orange alien from Tamaran?

They also criticized Disney for having a Black Captain America in the movies even though it was clear to any Marvel comics fans that this was always going to be the case.

Those fans would probably be as vocal if a white actor was casted for the main role in a Black Panther movie.
Actually, a lot of them complained that Black Panther had too many black people in it. They considered it unwatchable and impossible to relate to.
The difference is that the role of Captain America had plenty of holders in the comics - including Sam Wilson.
