*Shrugs* I wouldn't call it "bonus points", but more or less a "following" of recent trends to change races of previously established characters.
They've changed Iris and her family to black in CW's the Flash, a change which I feel worked and fully support (especially her father, Joe is probably my favorite character on the show after Cisco)
Scooby Doo, last I heard, was trying to make Velma an Asian in their live action features
Spiderman just recently changed MJ to black for their upcoming movies
Etc, etc. I'm sure there's others I'm forgetting, but my point is it's a change that's been happening the last 5 years or so. If they do end up making Jen black, they are merely following the trend in order to boost profits. Smart move on their parts, really.
