POLL: Do you think it's insulting to minorities that movie studios need to change the race of popular character to bring about diversity rather than just making an entirely new character and letting it stand on its own merit?
In other news, Jodi Benson (white person) is being mocked on twitter by the left who state her performance as Ariel in 1989 is a little flat compared to Halle Bailey (black person).

There was more mocking... including folks posting shots of Halle's Ariel next to the animated Ariel and noting that HB has a ton of Grammys noms, while cartoon Ariel (aka, Jodi) had zero. FWIW, 'The Little Mermaid' did in fact win a handful of Grammys at the time.
