That's definitely true, but she wasn't substituted for a white version of her. The original Captain Mar-Vell (Captain Marvel) had died, and she took the name after she received her powers (which btw, were very different than Mar-vell's), and the press dubbed her "Captain Marvel" after bystanders who witnessed her in action, called her a 'marvel'.
Man, sometimes I wish I still collected comics.
