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?

Why not create it's own story and character , though? Wouldn't that be better?

@MougyWolf not as profitable. Corporations have tried that road and its far more risky. Sequels and reboots of existing IPs tend to be much safer. They go where the money is.
