My understanding is that in this adaptation Johnny Storm is Susan's adopted brother, that's easy enough to explain. They weren't going to change Ben Grimm because he turns into a giant rock monster hopefully not too long after the movie starts (if they drag out the origin story I'm gonna hate this movie) so that would hide any change of race anyway making it a zero sum gain in political correctness points. Reed could have been changed race and I wouldn't bat an eye, but saying Johnny is adopted makes perfect sense to me. I agree there needs to be more Native American characters but the truth is, there aren't that many Native American actors. The Cinemax series Banshee has had to cast half Indian Actress Meaghan Rath and half Cuban actress Odette Annabelle to play Native American roles.
