Does it matter to you?
The only argument I've heard that has any value is the fact that his sister is white. That said, mixed-race families can have children of different colours. Maybe one parent got divorced after having a child with their first spouse and had the second with their second spouse. Maybe one is adopted.
He was cast for his acting abilities, not his skin colour.
Also, Jessica Alba isn't exactly white yet no one freaked out about her being cast as Invisible Girl.

Same with Nick Fury, only a reddish hair with white side burns and cigar. Those were the established character created by Stan Lee, Kirby and following writers and artists through the 70s to the 90s. It's like suddenly they cast Bruce Willis to play Luke Cage, or the Black Panther for demographics, or the writer just saying run with it. A bald white guy is perfect for the ruler of a powerful African nation. But with Marvel you're sitting on top of a gagillion Multi universes ready to cater to any exposition. So if it makes the current generation of readers happy with the storyline then there you go.
