There's absolutely no racial undertone to this, I just think casting a black man in the part would be wrong. Like Shaft being cast as a white man.
Dezzy has pretty much answered but to add, these worlds are not real. The creators are not going for maximum reality in these adventures so I have no problems with either character being any race.

There was a big fuss over John Boyega playing a black Stormtrooper and over Gwendolyn Chrtistie playing a female Stormtrooper in the recent Star Wars series but the films went thru and the fans got over it.
