Let's see, who's actually recognizable to general audiences...
K, Mary Jane, Ariel, Daphne: most iconic, already race swapped (maybe also Fiona if you count ogres as orcs...). They also forgot April O'Neil but I guess she's cannonically black now?
Misty and Nami: japanese, Tojo don't roll that way
The rest (that I recognize) haven't had remakes, or films really, in over 5 years, much longer for some. InB4 the black Flintstones remake.
I'm not really worried about representation, I'm more curious as to why movie studios seem obsessed with replacing Irish characters with black characters.
