I guess, technically speaking, if the Little Mermaid is going to be any nationality then she should be Danish because that is where Hans Christian Andersen was from and he wrote the children's story.
I think the reason why the Little Mermaid flopped at the theater is not because of the actress's skin color but why they did it. People don't care about skin color... well normal people. Lefties still obsess over it. But what people are just sick and tired of is being preached at.
And on top of that most responsible parents in America do NOT want their small children exposed to transgenderism, homosexuality or anything else whose lives revolve around their genitalia.
Lefties, however, seem to think they have an obligation to take parental rights away. They are wrong.
