Damn, they were thorough about it.

They didn't just alter her skin tone and hair. They changed her eye color, narrowed her nose and shrunk her lips. Hell, they even redid her eyebrows.

They were SERIOUS. The Chinese must really like the Irish.

Which one, and be careful on how you choose because it will definitely tell if you are racist or not.

White conservatives sure get offended and scared when they perceive white people are going to be replaced. Meh.
When your mom replaced your dad with Tyrone, your dad looked relieved. You ever see people in real life do like they do in the comics, when they jump up and kick their heels together in mid-air? Your dad mastered that art as he made his way for the nearest freight train bound for Juneau.

LINK I guess the Chinese don't believe in Kinz and Quenz. I think Disney was stupid for the woke nonsense, but the racism of the red Chinese is a bit over the top. Biden's buddies.


I see they put her eyes back where they’re supposed to be.
Seriously. I don’t understand the media’s fascination with black women who’s eyes are just a little too far apart.

Race swapping is racist. What the Chinese did here is not.

Yep, returning things back to normal isn't the racist part.

I hate a remake with a race swap. The original had a pale redhead as Ariel and that’s what people have in their mind when thinking of the little mermaid. Want to remake it live action fine but at least stay true to the source.

I read the story as a kid. HCA never said what she looked like (other than being the most-beautiful of her sisters), but I figured she was a blonde, since HCA was Danish.

Disney made her a redhead for two reasons. First, they wanted a distinction from blonde Darryl Hannah in Splash. Second, red was a nice contrast with her green fish tail. LINK

With all the horrible attacks on Asians nationwide perpetrated mostly by blacks, I don't blame them TBH.

Because it is important to both sides when it really shouldn't be.


"Both Sides" is the new concern troll. Both sides doesnt work when everything is one sided.

A majority of little girls in this country are white. A majority of the viewership of this movie will be white. The original story was written by a white man for for his white country. The animated movie made by Disney had a white Ariel. If it doesnt matter make the character white to appease the actual audience.

The thing is...it DOES matter. Thats why they cast a black actress. It matters to Disney to push their own agendas. It matters to the consumer because people have black fatigue. The majority of the angst in the country in recent years has been caused by black people who despite being 13% of the population, demand 90% of the countries attention all the damn time.

People are tired of it. They want a break from the constant pandering to black people.

That said, I think people would welcome an original black folktale for children. I think black people would appreciate that more than just raceswapping rehashed stories.

The same people who think Jesus, Cleopatra, and the Egyptians were most certainly black, as they are/were awesome, can't seem to figure out that Europeans would write about people who look like them.

This is the only part I take a little issue with. They were egged on and promoted by the media and the government to do exactly what they did. So I think the media and government should share some blame.

Everyone wants to rag on the US for being so allegedly racist and discriminatory. Many countries around the world are far, far worse.


Money talks. Big money talks really loud.

Big money hates The United States Constitution.

Politicians and their media lapdogs are controlled by mega money.

Mentally-challenged minions, ie libs and the often "educated" follow the media narratives.

Therefore, America is the only "really racist" country.

Really sad. I would love to watch "African Americans" find their place in CHYNA (and many,if not most other countries). After all, CHYNA loves the NBA.



TRUMP 2024!

My theory is Disney are full of secret white supremacists. Every time they culturally appropriate minority demographics they are directly saying, "Us as Disney, the great white culture, will now recognize that we are the super race and will throw you plebs a bone by casing one of our most famous characters as a minority. You can thank us later."
