Nobody is saying don't make diverse characters hell they could have just made a black mermaid character different than Ariel and made a different movie but people are mad because they are messing with who the character is. That would be like making Blade from Marvel a white guy with freckles. It would be ridiculous.
I have no problem with an African-American girl voicing Ariel in the Little Mermaid. My mom grew up watching The Little Mermaid in the 1990's. I've watched the original and can't wait to watch this version.

She's a mermaid and mermaids are fictional characters so she can be any color they want her to be. She can be blue. She's not a human character from specific countries. No one exactly knows what skin color mermaids from Denmark have.

There are far more important things to get hot and bothered about than the skin colour of someone playing the role of a fictional character in the remake of an old fairy tale.

society outrages when a white person plays an ethnic character in a movie but is totally fine if an ethnic person plays a white character... PC society is nothing but bullshit these days.
But naomi scott resemble Jasmine she don't remember Ariel there are many White girls who can sing and act and actually look like Ariel looking like character is big part of story.

Ariel's literally a fucking mermaid and as someone else already pointed out, the story the movie is based on is so different that the movie and story barely have anything to do with each other.
Jasmine was played by a girl who was half white, half Indian. Not an Arabian girl. I'm not crying because Naomi Scott was evidently the best fit for the role, I can't stop listening to "speechless".
She WAS. Half White, half Indian. No major uproar compared to Black Ariel. (I'm not actually agreeing or disagreeing with the choice, just thought I'd point this out)
I saw a trend of casting originally red-haired whites as blacks and I'm disgusted by it. I was particularly appalled by this travesty, since she looks like a frog, not a mermaid.

Seems like Disney thinks that non-white kids are the only ones with time to watch movies and tv.

Said it all in one ;)
Just a summary

Well if diana was played by a white chick you'd be pretty upset too
Im NOT a racist but I find it different than the original and dont really agree with the change.
M'kay. ;)

Disney has become a complete garbage business, they used to push entertainment, now all they push is feminist agenda garbage.
I don’t know what the big deal is. Remakes are horrible anyway. It’s not like I’m going to see it.
But naomi scott resemble Jasmine she don't remember Ariel there are many White girls who can sing and act and actually look like Ariel looking like character is big part of story.
I just can't wrap my head around the Science of it. Light only goes so far under water.
they call it the photic zone
I’m excited to watch besides it’s a mermaid plus representation matters as well. My little cousin is super excited we both love Halle!

I have never seen a black mermaid ever lol.
im sure u be crying if jasmine was played by white girl

Speechless is basically my theme song, I love Naomi- been a fan since TBM:

nice song!
It's beautiful.

I’m not going to see it anyway so I don’t care at all
She’ll always be a cute white red head to me. Let Disney black wash everything.
Disney: Has 3 black Disney princesses
People: Disney are blackwashing everything!!
Yup. They did. 3 ORIGINAL black princesses

Zendaya would have been great, I love her voice and we’ve already seen her with red hair.
