For one MJ isnt mary jane ( whixh mcu has stated MULTIPLE times) & Catwoman .... I guess you forgot one of her most popular live-action portrayals is black
But anyway , protest over characters is alot of times racist .... especially when its a character whose backstory isnt tied to their ethnic background , I mean hell people were mad when Hawkgirl was displayed as black in live-action even though egyptians are black, certain characters like batman, superman , black panther , etc. are essentially immune from race changing due to the fact their characters are tied to them HEAVILY but a character like nick fury (who fun fact was white for YEARS) or valkyrie or even wondergirl (would be fun to see one of them black) can easily have characteristics changed because their backstories and history leave them open to change
And I know alot of people continue to say “just make more ethnically diverse characters” but keep forgetting how hard it is to market them & make companies actually want to use them , think of it like this , when DC absorbed Milestone comics & gain rights to their characters...... they didnt use them , after the show Static Shock we never saw milestone used ever again until Young Justice gave us 2 episodes of Icon & a season and some change worth of Rocket , people forget Icon is almost as powerful as superman , but because DC doesnt want to use them, he has been a forgotten gem in the comics , sometimes the only way to promote diversity is by changing ethnic backgrounds or sexuality for established characters so people can finally take notice
