For the past ten years, and for the foreseeable future, ever since the end of the first IRON MAN film, Nick Fury has been African-American in the eyes of most people. More people recognize that character that way than not. So bringing in an iteration of that character that matched more closely with those impressions made sense to do. But none of that changed old Nick Fury, nor his history.
