Being African is an integral part of tchalla's character. Being white don't matter for Heimdall and Kingpin.
Not the same thing.
As a Swede, I was offended that Heimdall wasn't portrayed as a typical Nord. Alien Asgardians in the comics have the physical traits matching what is typically thought of for the Norse gods. There was no reason Heimdall shouldn't have been the same.
Because Idris Elba was cast to play Heimdall in Thor and Michael Clarke Duncan was cast to play Kingpin in Daredevil, I think we should take diversity even further and make a Black Panther movie with Vanilla Ice cast as T'Challa.
