Isn't she a fucking mermaid who comes from the ocean? Why should she be any real nationality/ethnicity?

    Trace her back to her origins, and she's literally based on a Danish folktale. I can guarantee you no one in Denmark when the story first was told was thinking of her as black.

    But then I think all of those examples were bad and should never have been cast that way. A black Anne Boleyn is exactly as bad a choice as a white Mansa Musa, for example.
