Halle Bailey to stay as Ariel


Halle Bailey to stay as Ariel
The Issue
There is a petition going around to get rid of Halle Bailey playing Ariel. Let's reverse that.
It has been confirmed that the very talented actress/singer, Halle Bailey, has been cast as Ariel in the Disney live action The Little Mermaid. Most of us are all for diversity and she has been qualified to sing and act the part......
In their "remove Halle Bailey" they stated quote on quote "Jasmine in the new live action Aladdin had to be cast as a true Middle Easterner, and the voices of the lions in the new Lion King HAD to be black. Why can Ariel not stay red headed, blue eyed white girl." . Have they forgotten that the Egyptian movies are played by white characters??? Aren't they suppose to be black? Did anyone create a petition for that?
"There’s nothing wrong with being proud to be ANY race. Black, white, Asian, Latino, etc."...... so what's the problem?
America is soley white with mostly white cast and leads. No need to be ignorant and stick to being diverse. Let's keep Halle as the character. It's time.
