My Ariel Is Black and Shes Swimming in White Tears

And I still don't give a f#ck, about a fairy tale, fictional character..it's a kids movie.

I pick my battles, this ain't one.

I wish i didnt even know there was a little mermaid remake but thanks to a some smooth brained, racist idiots i do. I would love it if there was even more recasting of roles with POC just to troll these idiots

This article is getting destroyed in the comment section rightful so.
An article likely written for click bait.

Although i couldn't noticed how they were cherry picking some of the tweets that they had put in the article while they were desperately trying to defend, justifying the current race swap, tokenizing of characters which were written based from Euporean Mythologies, folklore characters.

Of course the author begins with a lie not the first lie to start off with the disgraceful talking points.

Whiteness is the default for social and cultural normalcy in America. This stands true despite the fact that white American “culture” is generally pilfered from all the non-white cultures that surround it (music, dance, slang, food, etc).

We recently had seen how they tokenized Batman, Superman in other forms of media in these cases the comics.
The article also begins to criticize onto why they couldn't create new characters.

Which is amusing.

If Disney wants more diversity，they should have create another character…

What Disney did was cultural appropriation.

Why are you offended by the racial/ethnic persuasion of an actress portraying a fictional cryptid in a fairy tale movie marketed towards kids for the express purpose of selling CDs, toys, costumes, coloring books, etc?

I suppose I should rephrase that question... Why are you offended over something so benign and irrelevant to your quality of life?

For what it's worth, I'm of the mind that maybe an original character might be better??

But that's just me.

I am with you. If mermaids exist in African lore, then surely we could expose the world to one of those folk tales?
