turning a ginger character black

iirc, a lot of the times in old media creators would use red-haired people as stand-in for minorities, basically if they wanted to make a character BIPOC, but the studio wouldn’t let them, they’d make them red-haired instead

got this from hearsay so take it with a grain of salt. but if it’s true, it’s nice that the original visions can be fulfilled now!

(and even if it’s not true, more BIPOC in movies is never a bad thing, even if it comes at the cost of red-haired characters, which whatever it’s not like we’re systematically oppressed)

edit: also I’ll note that Ariel is still red-haired in the remake
