Hmmm. This is a hard subject. I really don't want to sound racist, but I think that race does matter, especially if the character is well known. For example, everyone knows that Superman (although he is an alien, but lets not talk about that) is caucasian. If a movie company randomly decided to make him Indian, that would be very strange and not met with very good reviews. In my opinion, all movies based off of any kind of book should try its hardest to stay relatively close to the original. Changing a characters race would screw up the goal to keep it as close to the original as possible.
