"Where among any of this discussion did anybody talk about making Peter Parker black?" ... You didn't get the point. The point was, that Peter Parker was created as a white character and Stan would wish for him to be white in the movie as well, because that's how the character was created. There are many people, who wish, that Johnny is white in the movie, because he was created as a white guy. The same people also want Storm, Blue Marvel and Bishop to be black in the movies.

On inevitable changes that happen when a property is translated into other media:
“I have nothing against change,” Lee said. “They’ve certainly changed a lot of my characters. Thor in the comics started as a doctor who walked with a cane and yet when they changed that for the movies, it was wonderful. I have no problem with that at all.”
On backlash from some fans regarding the casting of Johnny Storm (played by Michael B. Jordan). The traditionally white character is black in the new FF movie:
“I have nothing against black characters, and I think there should be more black heroes,” Lee said. “I always figure change is good if it improves a thing. And sometimes, you need change if you feel people have seen the same thing over and over, too many times.”
