Because it is a historical and scientific fact that all Elves were White. Do I have that right?

If do a film rooted in Greco-Roman, Nordic, Aztec, Hindu, or Japanese myths, you should cast actors who ethnically reflect that culture.

Is “cultural appropriation” not a bad thing anymore, or just in this situation? Elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, etc. are unique characters from Celtic Mythology and folk lore. So African elves make no sense.

Source material in the LOTR universe describes elves as light skinned plus several other adjectives not associated with the Amazon subjective attack on the source material's author. Hair color though can vary with one sect who are blonde not brunette.
Other than that, Amazon should have just created their own fantasy land from scratch, however, they again, have subversion to do in tearing down an existing franchise just like Disney with that space franchise and Viacom with that other space franchise.
