Do you really think it even matters if Ariel's fictional? So's Black Panther from Marvel, yet I'm willing to bet my whole house and all of its contents that if one even REMOTELY suggests changing him to a white guy, people would be up in arms and cry out racism for practically justified reasons. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. After all, since he's fictional, there shouldn't be any problem making him a white guy simply because, being fictional, they can modify his appearance. See how the argument breaks down?
