I know John Henry is a black character, but is being black central to his character in the way it is for, say, Black Panther, Sheriff Bart, and Hoke Colburn? Pretty sure nothing about his story or character would meaningfully change if he were biracial, mexican, chinese, or white.

That is the argument usually used to dismiss people upset about changing white characters into racial minorities, right? That being white isn't important to their character, so a race change is okay.

I'm not being 100% serious with that and I do think the character should stay black. I don't know if everyone considers Johnson black enough though.
