YouTube has now disabled the dislike counter on the trailer for the live-action version of Disney's ❝The Little Mermaid,❞ after it reached more than 1.5 million dislikes in just two days. This is prior to 22-year-old Halle Bailey facing racist backlash from trolls online for being cast in the leading role. It's disgusting she is being boycotted because people feel a young and talented black woman should not play the role. As for the above quote which I've been seeing a lot lately, Mandela was a cultural phenomenon, a real life icon, whereas Aerial is just a fictional character. Completely two different scenarios!
