I'm sure some of you already know, but Disney has made a new Little Mermaid movie and Ariel is being played by Halle Bailey, a black actress. And of course white people are throwing fits about it not being their Ariel, to the point they're making hashtags like #NotMyAriel on social media.
I don't get why they're making such a fuss about it.
But, this is Disney we are speaking of, and we all know their racist history. I could see them hiring a black woman to try and save face for their past. And all they care about is looking good and the cash they will get from this movie. It's probably mostly written/directed by white people too. .
