“We three kings of Orient are”, now two kings from the East and one from Africa. The Bible clearly says from the East so I have no idea why for the last 40 years they have always had a Black one.

Be better if they used a dark skinned man from India. To use an African does seem wrong.

This is Spanish tradition, going back much more than 40 years.
We had the Reyes Magos even in Manila, at least the Spanish community did, run out of the Casino Espanol, the Spanish social club. They would even borrow camels from the Manila zoo. And Baltasar was always black.
