Race is only an issue for me if it'll effect their backstory and story arc. Otherwise I don't care too much if they changed the race of a character so long as the character is played well.

I honestly have no problem with the West family being African American. Doesn't effect the story at all other than Wally West no longer being a carrot-top. And as lots of people have said, this Joe West is far better than the bastard we got in the comics.
