I'm Native American, myself.. but if they suddenly had Ariel being portrayed by an indian actress, I wouldn't feel racially incorporated, I'd feel like the casting directors were being condescending and pretentious.

(Haha - That said, I have entirely DIFFERENT reasons for not wanted Pocahontas involved... namely that Disney destroyed the real story with their cheesy sappy love version -__-) I honestly don't want Pocahontas on the show because she was a real person who was written about in history textbooks, not a fictitious character. Anyways, to all of you guys, I feel like it's alright if they change the nationalities of the characters as long as their original ethnicities isn't a big part of their iconic images such as Mulan being Asian or Peter Pan being a boy who was born in London during the Victorian/Edwardian era.
