Hollywood has been casting white people in non-white roles since the beginning of film

so it would be fine if they make Tatiana white in the remake. Her race has nothing to do with her character or story???

If anything, I thought little mermaid took place somewhere tropical when I was a kid bc of all the colorful corals and the Caribbean music 🐠

also, Ariel and her sisters were mermaids of the 7 seas. Ariel is the red sea... she's black lol

Edgar Köster :
if ethnicity is so irrelevant to the story then why is important to change the race of the main character?

this video sums it up. there isn't anything anchoring the little mermaid to danish culture versus the other examples.

The issue with Wanda is that she was whitewashed, her Jewish heritage was erased and even her slavic roots were treated badly with white American cast

She's greek, daughter of trident, cousin of herakles. She is from a Danish book in the original, and Danish, in no version was ariel black. I don't -

Funny how brad pitt got 0 criticsm for playing a Japanese character in bullet train. What happened to “staying loyal to the source material”??

MaoamEnjoyer🇬🇭 :
Funniest paet is the story is written by Danish ppl based on danisf folklore. It doesn't actually say ariel is danish. Especially since she aint human

Theo (hozier’s version) :
And also it’s a huge pattern that poc characters need to have a reason to be poc while white characters don’t have a reason to be white in the story.

ariel being black doesn’t change the story. she has a great voice and is beautiful so why is it such a problem my god

The problem with racists is that they hardly ever do any critical thinking. Love your videos.💖

ariel is the daughter of a greek god shes white and making her black is just for the movie to be succesfull becouse of inclucivety if they wanted

Jax Knight :
But still why couldn't we have ORIGINAL POC princesses/characters? They could do Mami Wata(An African mermaid story) They'd be more relatable 1/?

OBVIOUSLY they should’ve cast a real mermaid for Ariel, poor mermaids, so underrepresented! /s

People who don't understand it's all about her VOICE obviously didn't understand the movie anyway...

Cameron Macdonald :
Denmark had territory in the Caribbean at the time the story was written. it's possible it's set in the Caribbean

for the vast majority of poc in media, them being a poc is imperative to their respective stories, unlike white characters.

not to mention liz olsen taking GREAT pleasure in using slurs for rroma and calling them “dirty vagabonds”. so so gross

As a danish person I can tell EVERYONE that disagrees that Ariel’s race has nothing to do with the story.

for most characters that are poc, them being poc is important to their character… for white characters it usually isn’t important…

tbh at this point disney just casted her for noise marketing cause i've never seen everyone talked about a movie this much in a while

most already existing fanbases dont want anything changed from the previous version. it's not about culture, but about continuing the established

They’re so used to seeing themselves represented everywhere as main characters that they haven’t developed any empathy and see any change as an attack

Executives wanted to cast Julia Robert’s as Harriet Tubman… I’ll leave it at that 😂

Tbh if the skin colour/ ethnicity isn’t an important part of the character or the story it doesn’t matter who you cast

but Ariel is supposed to be in red sea which is surrounded by non white continents

Ariel’s race has nothing to do with the story, the entire plot of Mulan relies on her being Chinese and being in China

well, the little mermaid statue is a danish national treasure, so it’s at least a little iconic 😅 it’s not disney’s vers. bt it’s from the same story

Also Ghost In A Shell is reclaimation of a genre that was specially created to demonize Japan's technological progress.

I thought Live action mulan was a bad idea cause the talking dragon and the insect are the best characters

Ginger here, it makes zero sense for mermaids to be ginger. Ariel would burn to a crisp singing on that rock
