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?

I am black and I have mixed feelings about a black Ariel. I grew up absolutely loving The Little Mermaid and I'm excited for little black girls to see princesses and fairy tales and big budget movies with them in it.

But I don't really like when they make traditionally white characters black. It irks me. Feels like corporate pandering. I mean they still cast King Triton as white. Its wierd.
