I come from one of the cultures the Norse gods originate from, and I can officially say that I wouldn't give a fuck if Heimdall was black in a serious retelling of the Norse myths.

Whites get plenty of representation, and the gods being white isn't a plot point. If you had to change plot points to make it work with a non-white actor, then that would be bad because it would hurt the movie's storywise accuracy for the sake of the casting, and if you were to go out of your way to cast non-white actors regardless of talent, that would just be strange - but it doesn't matter that the culture that originally imagined up those gods was white.

Whites don't need more representation in cinema; PoCs do. Complaining about black Heimdall is a completely manufactured problem. Of course PoCs complain when one of the very few cartoons featuring all-PoC protagonists gets whitewashed in its movie adaptation - there is something actually valuable in increasing PoC presence in leading roles and the whitewashing lost that. There is precisely no value for anyone in making sure Heimdall is white in a movie - certainly no more value than in, say, making sure his eyes are blue rather than brown or whatever.
