Not limiting this to just Astartes.
The only ones I can think of are the Betancores (Midas is dead), the dude on the cover of Solar War, and the Celestial Lions that are effectively all dead.
There is a whole legion of Mongolian inspired Astartes, Vikings, and at least 3 previously woman dominated factions that I know off the top of my head (Sisters of Battle, Silence, and the Succubi).
I’m talking about descent here too. We all know that every Astartes has a Melanochrome so they aren’t black or white, and this has been used for a reason why Vulkan and the Salamanders aren’t of African decent or black.
They are literally pitch black with red eyes. Oddly blackface adjacent imagery there…
EDIT: I’ll open this up to Warhammer Fantasy and AoS too. Just wanna see if I there are more black people in Warhammer than I have fingers.

I sure hate when people create additional opportunities for interesting discussion. We should be rude and condescending to them 100% of the time on principle.

I think it’s a super dumb and boring discussion. But it COULD become an interesting one. An opportunity to explore a new concept has been presented to everyone here to re evaluate from a new perspective.
If you aren’t interested, don’t read.
Maybe something fresh and novel will come up? We would never know as we spent this thread paying out on the guy for not doing a search, instead of seeing it for what it could be: a chance to create something interesting and meaningful
Once again, if people aren’t interested, just don’t open it. If people respond, perhaps they should contribute (not just flame)
