No argument. With respect to Noel Ransome's original article on a black Superman, I have mixed feelings for only one reason: it looks like they're keeping Gal Gadot in the Wonder Woman role. If they're going to pretend continuity with the other films then it would be a bit odd for Superman to be black, just as much as it would be odd for Batman to suddenly be Indian and Aquaman to suddenly be Korean.

On the other hand, if the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984 is a last hurrah for the current series and we're getting (yet another) reboot, then sure use the fresh start to make comic heroes about more than just white men. With the sole exception of heroes whose core concept is based around racial identity, like Black Panther or Luke Cage, everyone else should be able to have any racial or sexual identity. I don't give a hoot if the whole damn Justice League were, for the sake of argument, black women. The stories of maintaining a secret identity, moral dilemmas, and super powered fist fights would be just as fun and interesting.
