Why are racists and anti-wokeists now offended over a black woman playing "Ariel" in the little mermaid movie?

Yes dark skinned mermaids exist, they're in African and indigenous folklores and legends. So why a movie showing a black mermaid is suddenly now a problem?

I think the reason is mostly just because Disney is super insincere about it because they were recently called out last year on unfairly paying their female workers less than the male workers, and among other issues. So people are primarily just mad at how hypocritical Disney is by trying to use peoples races and genders as brownie points // controversial points to attract more news and attention rather than actually trying to be inclusive.
