I was just wondering that, too.

What's interesting is that fictional redheads, even when protagonists, were usually portrayed as trouble-makers, brash, poor, etc., which kind of went along with the historical view of them as being lesser somehow than other white people. So by doing these remakes, they're changing the race but keeping the trope, which arguably and ironically reinforces a view of black people as lesser.

Yes, but the redheads in question were then also shown to be brave, kind, clever etc. so the historical trope of "you look down on this person but actually they're awesome and you're prejudiced and wrong!" is still in play.
