… I’m sorry, is the question really ‘how does a few years change your age but not your ethnicity?’
James Bond has been recast because real people get old. Characters don’t have to. That is an example of not changing. James Bond is eternally forty-ish, even when he was played by men visibly pushing sixty. There’s no in-universe explanation because that’s not how humans experience stories.
So now we need to worry about it? I’m getting mixed messages here. Why does “just go with it” only work for maintaining a problematic status quo? Why is ethnicity a problem, but not the multitude of other things you brought up? Now we have to have a reason for it? “Don’t get so wrapped up in details. Except for these details that you want to change. Those are ‘important’.”
Like you said, it’s just nonsense. Lean into the chaos.

This is stupid and I’m not interested.
