The comics keep ret-conning character's origins. Honestly, comic book and soap opera writers invented the ret-con. They are basically professional fanfiction writers. They take the original story and characters, add on to it, twist it, reinterpret it, in about as many ways as they can get away with. It's fun - I mean like fanfic. But it's also head-ache inducing if you are a stickler for anything resembling continuity.
Magneto was originally Romani Gypsy with Scarlett Witch and Pietro as his kids with Magda. Then he was Jewish, and his kids died. Then he was Jewish, and Wanda/Pietro were his bastard children. Then just Lorna was his child, and Wanda and Pietro were imposters that were never his kids at all.
In the original creation they are his kids and part of the Brotherhood of Evil who fought the X-men. Scarlett Witch and Pietro aka Quicksilver are originally evil mutants, who broke with their Dad, redeemed themselves and joined the Avengers.
The MCU cut out the whole mutant storyline, and made them Slovakian witch and human changed by the infinity "reality" stone per Hydra, as opposed to Romania Gypsey/Mutant.
I don't know why people think they've been white-washed. They weren't POC really in the comics either. Pietro is white and so is Wanda. And so is Magneto. Seriously, comic book fans can be self-righteous nitwits. (Which is why I avoid the comics fandom.) LOL!
