I think people need to figure out if the race of a character is culturally significant in any way in the context of the story and IRL. Like, part of Black Panther's whole deal is he's from Africa. Hard to budge on that character's ethnicity. Ariel from the Little Mermaid could literally be any ethnicity and the story would remain the same. Crying about white erasure is pathetic when no actual culture relevant to white western people is being lost.
