Making him black is like making Mulan white except making her white would elicit angry uproar (and rightfully so) while making Lancelot black doesn't (for some reason).

Lancelot being black doesn't anger anyone because there are just so MANY white people on this show and on TV in general. Making one white side character black won't deprive white actors of opportunity or visibility. However, making one of the few Asian characters (Mulan) white would have a huge negative impact on the opportunities and visibility for Asians.

Changing a character's race to increase diversity is fine with me. Changing his race to decrease diversity is not.
