Carol Danvers has been Captain Marvel since 2012. Before that, Captain Marvel was an alien man (Mar-Vell), a black woman (Monica Rambeau), an alien clone (Genis-Vell), the alien clone's sister (Phyla-Vell) yet another alien (Khn'nr), still yet another alien (Noh-Varr) and finally Carol Danvers. If anything, Carol's been around longer than all but Mar-Vell, created in 1968 and became the superhero Ms. Marvel in 1977.
The original Marvel Captain Marvel is dead and has been since 1982.
Which of these characters is the 'real' Captain Marvel?
Look, you can whine about girl Thor, Korean Hulk, black girl Iron Man, etc. But complaining about who the current Captain Marvel is in Marvel comics world is weak sauce.
And hopefully it is already known that Marvel comics Captain Marvel is completely unrelated to Fawcett/DC's Billy Batson Captain Marvel (aka: The Big Red Cheese). And he had his own movie.
