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’m mixed black, but maybe it’s because the little mermaid is part of European folk tradition and lore not African lore. I understand why they don’t like it.
