Would you be upset if a Snow White movie cast a red haired actress?

Given how most portrayals show a black/dark haired snow white? Why would that upset you?

If this would not upset you, but black Ariel does - why? If hair color doesn't matter why does skin color?

Wouldn't much care because it's a fairy tale and has no real historical truths to reflect, so any race and ethnicity would work. But if you want to go by the original story, the the name "Snow White" literally is chosen because the Queen -- Snow's mother -- is looking out a a field of snow and things how nice it would be to have a child with skin as white as snow and hair as black as ebony.
