Do u think its ok to have a "Black" girl playing the Little Mermaid ? 🐠 🐟

Her name is Halle Bailey, sister of Chloe Bailey from the tv show Grownish. Now I'm gonna be honest with you people here. As a person of color, I felt like she should have turned this role down. Why ? Because The Little Mermaid just so happens to be, White. Just like Black Lightning, is actually Black. He is a comic book character. But anyway, this is just a good example of politics. That ugly evil thing that is used to divide and conquer people. What do you think ?
Should there be a Black girl playing the Little Mermaid. They could have just made an original version of a mermaid film so that is wouldn't cause so much friction for certain people. Right. You tell me. I'm listening.
Best answer wins. ☺️ 🐟

I think they should stop fucking around with making live action remakes of old classics. Get back to making cartoons with original storylines like Lilo and Stitch. A plucky heroine who just happens be a minority with all the delights of her culture not shoehorned in to make some statement.

They did it in an organic and charming manner with relevance to the story that also educated the audience.

@Longpatrol This whole remake thing is dumb to begin with.
But playing politics through movies is even dumber.

@Zonuss Playing politics with movies? That has kind of been the point since the beginning. Birth of a Nation comes to mind.
