Taking a detour off the rails for a moment... why do redheads/gingers get looked-down on?I think ginger men are absolutely stunning. Prince Harry is a hunk, I've done business with red-headed guys that made my toes curl. Red-headed women too... Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher) from Star Trek TNG, for example, is gorgeous.

Maybe this goes to show our inability, in too many cases, to separate real life from fantasy.

In northern Europe, red hair denoted kingship and some early kings actually dyed their hair to support their claims!
And yes, red headed men are gorgeous - Mr Penry had fiery red hair when he was younger (and I had red hair too, so we looked a bit as though we'd come from the same tribe!)

So, do we know what hair color the new Ariel will have? I mean, people of color can have red hair too. Even naturally.

In Australia, it depends on what colour red you are. Ginger kids are teased really badly, and certainly were when I was a kid (not by me!), especially if they were also pale with freckles. Strawberry blonde and dark coppery reds don't cop it quite so badly. Age also matters... people seem to love red toddlers, but school age kids and young teens have a really hard time. Then as adults the natural redheads die their hair brown while some of us brunettes die it red! Personally I think there are some really stunning redheads, and it's a colour that ages very well as people mature. But I guess it's our experiences in our formative years that affect us the most sometimes.
This was fun to read.
I think a lot of the red head thing comes from South Park in modern culture (gingervitis), but before that, idk.
I'm a bit disappointed that Ariel is black, but tbh I'm far more scared that they're gonna screw up live-action Lion King.
and finally:
Red heads get Merida (way more boss b*tch)
Northerners get Elsa/Ana (not a great trade but it's there)
Blacks get Tiana (omg qween)
Maori/Polynesians get Moana (best. ever)
Asians get Mulan (i'm shook about this Mushu relevation)
Arabs get Jasmine (again not an amazing trade but something at least)
Theres a few cultures they have missed, but they're get there. Too busy making money out of live action remakes and controversy!

RIP
I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.

Plus Pochahontas. Then Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White, Rapunzel and I think Vanelope counts too. And the non-princesses, most of whom are not Caucasian (Esmerelda, Alice, Lilo, Kida, the curvy chick in El Dorado and then Jane). In balance a good half of the Disney female protagonists and most of the supporting females are not white. The boys on the other hand... now that's a disappointingly boring and superficial lineup.
