I think the difference is that there's an overwhelming number of lead roles for white actors while black actors and other ethnicities have dramatically less opportunities for the bigger roles. A black actor playing a role that was previously played by a white actor is kind of helping towards balancing the scales while a white actor taking a role that's known for being played by black actors is doing the opposite, it's taking opportunities away from black actors when there wasn't that many to begin with.
