Because white characters are boring.
I may say this with bias but it is, mostly white characters are boring and generic, there is a reason that when you think at a generic character you think at a white person. While you don't think at black character as a generic one.
It's not even hypocrisy, we live in a white-centric society, so it should be all white centered, but we can change a part of it by turning some white fictional characters into non-white characters.
And so making them more interesting.
