There is a huge difference between a made up hand drawn character, and an actual person in history that most (if not all) look up to as a hero. I'm white as white can be and even I say fuck you for this.
I understand that, but also:

The little mermaid is DANISH. THEY’RE WHITE AS HECK. IT’S JUST MORONIC TO CAST THIS GIRL AS THE LITTLE MERMAID JUST TO PISS PEOPLE OFF AND THEN CALL THEM RACIST FOR WANTING A CHARACTER TO STAY TRUE TO THE WAY SHE WAS WHEN THEY GREW UP WITH HER. I’m all for gender bending and using people of different races to play other characters, but doing it just because they want to provoke people really gets under my skin.
False equivalency MLK was an actual person. The little mermaid is cartoon that Disney made. They could make Ariel top half fish+bottom half human legs, and I wouldn’t care
