It's especially ridiculous because:

  • A: Halle Bailey's painfully gorgeous

  • B: She's got this... How do I describe it? 'Mythologic' look? Like she's how I'd picture a siren out of The Odyssey or something like that.

Again, I'm all for actors matching their characters, and soulless 'diversity' casting just for the veneer of inclusivity can be less than ideal, but that's not close to the case here. The rage around Ariel was just totally absurd (and absolutely racist).
