It's weird that people are not as open to her being Ariel because she's colored, but totally stans Zendaya as the choice.

 

Am I missing something here?

“Colored” is an archaic term from Black People. You can just say black. “Colored” is more of an American slur nowadays. Just fyi.

My point is, if a character is white then a white actor must be cast. If the character is black then a black actor must be cast. And the same for every race. Forced diversity is just nonsensical really, and it happens because when people see too many white characters on the screen they start complaining about “lack of diversity”. It’s annoying.

 

Tony award winning Hamilton was made to disprove this entire concept.

This is one of the most absurdly stupid things I’ve read today.

Ugh whatever. Shouldn’t have butt my head into this argument. I’m tired of writing these long-ass essays explaining myself .

Can she sing? ✔️

Meh! They just need to dye her hair red. Maybe, also Ariana Grande is a good option, if she wants to dye hair red again. 

but isn't ariana also black?

I was shooketh at first only because I was so accustomed to the 1989 Ariel, but now I am pretty excited to see a new story. 

Trending this is wrong and hurtful. Even if you don't agree with the casting, she is an incredibly talented girl who earned the role. I think they should all give her a chance.

She’s Italian but tans to the point where she’s essentially racially ambiguous

isn't colored short for people of colour as in people of different race, like does it really matter  

[Catnikko 14,422]

Also why are people against the casting acting lie she's not gonna be wearing a red wig?   It's not that big a change

I grew up watching Brandi's version of Cinderella, which was also from Disney. It's the Rodger and Hammerstein's version and Whitney Houston was the god mother and the prince was hispanic/asian and they were all great in it.

I dont see whats wrong with Ariel being black since this has been done before with a disney princess. In all honesty, we had like 3 sleeping beauty movies back to back from different studios. Someone will just make a new cinderella after 5 years.
