    Though looking into it that might be problematic, having a white guy taking the role of a black man.

    If the voice fits the character, why does the actor’s skin color matter? I wouldn’t care if Master Chief was voiced by a non-white actor, or if Cortana was voiced by a non-white actress, as long as the new actor’s voice matched the original well enough.

    Darth Vader, a white character, was voiced by James Earl Jones, a black man. And Vader has been voiced by white men too. Who cares what their skin color is? I don’t. I just want a good voice actor in the role.
