Yes, Hollywood is racist every single day. However, it's hard to protest institutionalized racism and racism by omission. But when we have popular media that is populated by demonstrably non-white characters and they are summarily white-washed-- that's something that can be protested. That's a chance to say "I'd love to see more characters of color, we HAD a significant number of characters of color on this show, and you shouldn't change the face of that show to white-wash it."
Is it treating symptoms? Sure, but it's also a baby step in the right direction towards depicting non-white characters in non-pigeonholed main and major roles in media. The fact that the tv show wasn't white washed was a step in the right direction, a lot of people see the white-washing of the movie as a step back, and we're agitating not to take that step back.
TL;DR Not all antiracist movements are about big steps. Sometimes it's about just pushing to not lose the heroes you've got. If you think that's being high and mighty... that's your malfunction, I guess.
