Can I be upset at all of them? The little mermaid should probably be ~~Dutch~~ Danish, and all the rest should be their canon ethnicities. White Disney princesses don't bother me because most of those stories are European folktales, but that cuts both ways.
Isn't she a fucking mermaid who comes from the ocean? Why should she be any real nationality/ethnicity?
Oddly enough, the Harry Potter franchise handled this well.
I could be convinced that mermaids should have dark backs and light bellies
