And that's a problem with the world when it comes to things like these. They shouldn't be looking at the character's race, but, again, how well that actor portray's their character.

Now, the only reason to really get upset about a character's race is when they change it, and it no longer fits with the plot's history i.e-making Pocahontas black, or French or something. But other character's whose nationality isn't specifically stated/or has no prominent meaning in the plot, who cares what they look like? Like someone argued that The Little Mermaid was set in Denmark, and people would then think she needs to be white, but that's not a prominent part in the story, therefore they could change that.

Now, I would be a bit upset if they changed certain aspects of the character, like if they made Ariel blonde, cuz I'd miss her red hair that Disney gave her, but looking at what race she is shouldn't matter.

Like, with this Lancelot being black thing. You shouldn't care. If you argue, "Well the Aurhuriann legend is set in Midevil times therefore he can't be black", this is also FL, not our world, maybe FL doesn't care about race, like this world shouldn't.
