By this line of thinking Nick Fury in the MCU should be played by a white actor, because the original character was white.
All of the “This is ridiculous” I have to ask... does this have that much of an impact on your life? If it doesn’t why do you care?
Because it’s stupid. It’s not like these actors are appearing in blackface. They are voice actors. What’s the difference if a white person does the voice of a black character?
Whats the difference if a production company wants to be more inclusive and hire more people of color?
Fury was changed to look like Sam Jackson before the MCU was even formed.

This was the opposite situation but on Star Wars Rebels they had David Oyelowo who is black, voice the character of Agent Kallus who was white. He obviously didn't care about that and demand they make his character black.Hiring more people of colour is perfectly fine, but I don’t get why an actor who is white voicing a character who is black is suddenly a problem. Henry has been doing the voice of Cleveland for twenty years, and suddenly now it’s a problem? Azaria has been doing the voice of Lou the cop for more than 20 years. Same with Harry Shearer doing the voice of Karl.
I don’t agree that these actors need to step down from voicing these roles, that’s all.
Can the writers and producers and directors and animators of Family Guy step down as well?
Does it have that much impact on the lives of POC? Why would they care? It’s a cartoon character. If it’s not important enough to be bothered by then it’s not important enough to change, IMHO.
All things like this do is generate meaningless annoyance on both sides and pointless discussion about it.

And if they can find POC who fill that voice it doesn’t effect your life at all. It’s a really, really dumb thing to be throwing a fit about.
