Talk:The Little Mermaid (live-action film)/@comment-38350502-20190706213403/@comment-4889892-20190707154401

@21EvanED155508 No, I meant that find it racist for someone to be cast because of their race rather than their overall resemblance and ability to portray the character. Race does play a part in whether someone looks the part, but a variety of ethnicities can resemble each other because there is usually genetic overlap.

@Weedle McHairybug Yeah. I think some valid excuses can be made for the racebending, but it would have made more sense to keep her white. I don't think anybody would have complained about that or said anything was wrong with that. Like I said, I don't really follow The Little Mermaid, so somene that knows more about the movie probably has a deeper view of the character than I do, and better justification for their stance on this.
