i’ve seen people say that ariel can’t be played by halle cuz it’s a danish tale and we should get mad at a white woman playing mulan, pocahontas, or tiana.
mulan literally had to go save china; her story is about her being chinese
pocahontas had her land invaded by colonizers and they literally call her and her tribe s*vages; her story is about her being native american
tiana is a black woman living in the 20s in the south surrounded by black culture (the food, the music, etc); her story is about her being black.
ariel’s story isn’t about her being danish. they don’t talk about her being danish, there’s no danish culture integrated into the plot, nothing; it’s just a danish tale.
y’all just don’t want a black woman with locs playing ariel. like stop being pussies and say that with your chest.
