From Phil Jimenez himself (Trevor Barnes' creator):

Reaction to Trevor Barnes was mixed at best, and hostile at worst. We got calls saying, "Get that Black monkey out of my 'Wonder Woman' comics" (Yes, seriously); and one fan reacted by saying he couldn't relate to Trevor like he could to Steve, because Steve was "blond and blue eyed like him." Many fans loathed the idea that Trevor might be the one to have sex with Diana (then, a virgin) before Steve himself did, even though the post-Crisis version of Steve was significantly older than Wonder Woman and married to another woman. Further, the fact that, in his first introduction, Trevor said "No" to Diana when she asked him out on a date made fans go ballistic, even though they had no idea why he said no (It was explained sometime later).

The negative reaction from the fans was so bad, they eventually killed the character off.

A big part of it is because its super girl and batgirl. They are known, but not that well known. Similar to why despite heimdale being race-bended, the reaction hasn't been as strong as spider man potentially being a black dude (whether it be a new peter Parker or miles morales) on the big screen, or Johnny Storm being played by Michael B. Jordan.

I can def see similar reactions from before if they paired Wonder Woman with a black dude again, today. Even if it was a well known character like a John Stewart or Cyborg.

Thing is for a lot comic book fans, especially when it concerns the top tier iconic characters, those characters are power fantasies. A reflection of them to some degree.

When marvel announced that spider man was coming back to the MCU, some in the coli were hoping Miles would be the spidey for the film. I told them to keep dreaming. Marvel knew damn well that if they made miles the main character over Peter, the controversy over Johnny Storm will look like a footnote compared to a potential spidey change. It's that serious.
