Well I've only read a few books that were turned into a show or movie - and I don't recall any race-swapping.
What has happened are character-swapping. Where the story or events from one character are given to another when it's processed into a script.
I prefer when they leave things the heck alone. But - Hobbits, Orcs, Dunedains, Elves, Maiar, and Dwarves don't exist in real life
Or they change a character so much nothing about him or her resembles the character in the book or they create characters out of thin air that for some reason are critical to the story even if they didn't exist in the book.
