DEI Facilitator Rosann Santos Discusses Outrage Against Halle Bailey's Casting of Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid
EntSun News/10961567
NEW YORK - EntSun -- Disney's latest live-action remake, The Little Mermaid, has been embroiled in controversy over the casting of singer Halle Bailey as Ariel was announced.
Disney's remakes are no stranger to controversy from nostalgic fans however this time the backlash is transparently biased against the casting of a woman of color portraying Ariel, the titular mermaid character of the story.
The film trailer had received over 1.5 million dislikes from upset fans and so YouTube removed the dislike counter to redirect focus on the film itself.
Rosann Santos created a video analyzing the subject and made the statement, "We don't assign ethnicity to fish, we don't assign ethnicity to fictional characters (who are fish), these characters were created at a different time and place where they may have been financial reasons why creating White (Caucasian) characters for White viewers was the only way to go - but we don't live in that time anymore."

She went on to say, "I think it's perfectly fine for The Little Mermaid to be portrayed by a Black woman, Disney made a decision to introduce diversity into their cast of characters and this is a sign of the direction that the industry is going in."
Rosann has covered diversity, equity and inclusion in television and film discussing Sophia Nomvete's portrayal of Princess Disa in Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power and Steve Toussaint's of Lord Corlys Velaryon in House of the Dragon.
