They gendered and race swapped a bunch of folks. They also make the little black kid into a miraculous vampire killing machine. It's also just an okay movie so you aren't missing much.

There's far fewer good black characters in movies these days, but I'll never reject a black character out of hand because I know great and honorable black people. I suspect Rudyard Kipling was thinking along those lines when he wrote The Ballad of East and West.
Kipling also thought it was the white man's burden to train non-whites to act like whites.
It would've been better not to undertake that in the first place but since they did, it would've been better for the world if Western countries just stuck to that mindset.
