No it would be because shes African. That has a lot to do with her character. After thinking about batman being from a rich family and settlers and all of that I agree being white has a lot to do with the character. I don't think a character needs to stay white or black just because. Look at the example you used earlier with nick fury. When they changed him to being black it was fine. I understand at that point he wasn't as big a character as he is now because of the movies but I think you can make him white now and it wouldn't affect the character much or at all.

Not in the continuity they have going on now. Maybe if they plan on rebooting the character at a latter point or SLJ moves on, but even then, there are several good black actors that could step right in for SLJ and keep the character going.

Like I said, for most people, SLJ is THE take on Nick Fury right now. Just like in most people's mind, Christian Bale is THE take Batman/Bruce Wayne.

To be fair, The MCU borrowed heavily from the Utlimate Universe (if you case you didn't know). In the Ultimate Universe, Nick Fury was remade as black and his character looked like this:

the character redesign was around SLJ.
