Nah i'm upset at all of em, either cast the actual race of the character or you are too cheap to put in the effort.
I don't know how to break this to you, but mermaids don't exist.
If the character's ethnicity isn't directly relevant to the story or its message, why does it matter? People of all kinds of heritage live just about anywhere in the world, so a character being from some country doesn't have to determine their ethnicity.
It's a damn movie. Cast whoever is gonna play the character best. I don't care of brothers and sisters were different or if men played women or women player men.
But I'm used to the theater were roles don't have such a large talent pool.
More so, stop casting people just for their name.
