Also, it’s kind of sad that there will always be someone willing to take on these roles knowing they are not accurate and only in it to meet some diversity quota. It is also insulting towards the real life characters from the story to not be accurately represented. I don’t know.

There was that black actor who refused to take James Bond for that reason, I think.

Little Mermaid wouldn’t have bothered me as much except for the fact that it was written by a Danish guy, and Denmark is whiter than the North Pole. Also the fact that the intention was inclusion but when it came to marketing it in China they airbrushed her skin to make her lighter and put the advertising focus more on Sebastian and Flounder.
