- sethzarandona @pickle1010 Some racist jacka$$ who wanted to go "Lol look at me casting a white person as Tiana because I'm so mad over a black mermaid." They know whitewashing inherently different from race-swapping a "white" character whose race plays no role in the story, and they don't care. It's just their current excuse to scream their racism to the heavens.

- dilares @sethzarandona In fact, race and appearance play an important role in the story. Why can't you treat Ryan's casting as a joke? Or do you not have a sense of humor? And besides, changing the skin color of a white character and making him black is racist to both blacks and whites. It's dumb. People care a lot about changing the skin color of white characters right now

- sethzarandona @dilares You’re very bent on making crap up. The story of The Little Mermaid? Is that really the story where “race plays an important role?” Dude, her story had nothing to do with being white, it’s about being a mermaid LMFAO. And the Ryan thing, y’all do it out of spite, that’s why the joke isn’t funny. If a character’s skin color does not factor into the story, then anyone can play that character. But you know this. You’re just trying to gaslight and cry about a black girl playing an iconic role.

thewickedmerman It's absolutely sickening that people aren't even trying to choose actresses that actually look like Tiana but rather biracial women and the most insulting option being Zendaya, who is somehow in second place.

sethzarandona Who’s the troll who suggested ANYA TAYLOR-JOY??? Tiana’s blackness is actually important to her story, unlike half of the white princesses like, say, Ariel (who can ABSOLUTELY be played by an actress of ANY race). I also agree that Zendaya should very much not be here. I love her, but she’s literally half-white.

- dilares @sethzarandona Just say that it's important for people like you to change the skin color of white characters and historical people.

kevsperling I personally think Zendaya would be perfect for the role, she's a singer, a dancer, and is very talented. If she gets the part, I want Lil Nas X to be Naveen. They would be a perfect Disney couple.

sethzarandona Anya Taylor-Joy was obviously a troll suggestion. Tiana’s race is actually important to the story (half of her dilemmas being passed over for a job opportunity because she’s black, in the South, in the 1920’s), and if you look it up, she was based on a real-life black woman who opened one of the first non-segregated restaurants in USA history. This is nothing like making Ariel black or one version because Ariel’s race isn’t a contributing factor in the story. If you really want to play the “what if we made this black character white” card, at least choose a black character whose race isn’t important to the story, like the Muses from Hercules or something. Besides, Anya Taylor Joy would NEVER agree to whitewashing the first ever black Disney Princess. But you people know this and don't care. This is just you people's current excuse to flaunt your racist crap.
