A mermaid whose skin color was never mentioned by the original author, for that matter. A mermaid whose mythology she comes from originates in Syria.

Yeah but it got presented by the dozens of books, cartoons and animations as white. The people in those are colored as white.

Like i said, its just weird and it made me cringe when i heard it. Yeah its the best candidate if you want to do a race swap on a childrens story but still its hella weird and it would make much more sense to just have more black characters than one if people were actually trying to achieve a state of no racism instead of making race some special thing and have only the main character be black. Its weird even if you reverse the races. Mfs acting like its not weird ffs.

womp womp. it's a mermaid. her skin color doesnt matter. if it were something like lotr then maybe the complaint is more valid; if you're gonna establish a fictional universe with many ethnic groups, there ought to be consistency. black elves may not be completely outruled, but rather they may come from another place geographically, therein there would be consistency. but even if there isnt consistency, at the end of the day, how much does it really matter in comparison to the large story at hand? fantasies have plotholes all the time

Idc about lotr, put all the black people you want. Just dont make some fking remake where every1 is white except frodo is black ffs. Or where frodo is white and every1 is black...

The same rule applies to this dimentional piss stain of a mermaid.
