i’m so happy y’all im so happy, bye 💕
Mind you all these people that complain are GROWN and upset about a movie catered to CHILDREN…
Disney adults are NOT to be messed with...
Its not for children its for the audience who grew up with the orignal move and that audience is grown folks😂
I’ve watched and enjoyedk both versions and found both enjoyable. In my opinion, ppl unwilling to see the new version as invalřid because of the imaginary character’s skin color have issues that say more about them than the movie.
If Ariel was played by one of them, they would have been okay with it. It all boils down to jealousy.
Bingo.
Amayah, you have the intelligence of your mother with a touch of Joe's creativity. I know your parents are sooo proud of you. Continue to broaden your perspective to the world- because thinking globally is going to take you so many places. Congratulations on starting college, make yourself (and your parents) proud. May God continue to give you favor!
It was understandable that they have preferences and that they have their own beauty standards/ expectations but a lot of the comments were just straight up racist, adding insults that were irrelevant to the movie and were just insulting black people. They were making caricatures and photoshopping Halle, which was sad to witness. And then they started insulting other black people who weren’t even involved with the movie. And seeing how most of the commenters are grown adults made it even sadder.
Yup I've been fighting back against their evil backlash for 3 years. What I will say is that I'm very disappointed that it's a collective of them. I will not support anything from Korea and China.
Yeah agree, they should've not done that. People are messed up I swear
Im proud of Japan because the movie debuted number 1 there, and no one is talking about that. I'm glad they're nothing like the Chinese and Koreans.
Yes, Japan/Japanese people have always been acceptable to diversity! One of my closest friends is Japanese.
yeah my friend wanted to see the movie . every time she goes it's sold out or super pack in the area she is in japan .
girl they are racist too
@@ariannapommells they supported the movie🤷🏾♀️
Not to mention the Koreans culture vulture of the entire Black Culture. Seriously??
Well done covering this topic and breaking down this issue!
omg amyah i’m so proud of u ! i used to watch the fam (still do) but seeing ur channel and ur growth makes me so happy 😭🩵
Thank you so much for addressing this. You did very well!
this is an amazing video and well articulated . thank you for making this
Amyah, I am so proud of you. Always taking the initiative and going beyond. Always Continue Your Research ! Much Luv ❤❤❤
Amyah🙂
I really appreciate you young lady. You are so talented, smart, intelligent, kind and wise for your age! You response to the opinion of various reactions to the 2023 Little Mermaid movie ...was said with such taste and fairness. You go girl, I'm team-Amyah. Keep up the good work!
P. S. - I'm so excited for you going to college; represent girl! God Bless you, from Miss Tina😊

Well done Amayah, you are very discerning and you have pinpointed astutely that the real problem is the insidiously influential media. The media is one of 7 global spheres of spiritual influence along with government, education, entertainment family, religion and business. These are all areas that we are influenced by, often without really appreciating that a lot of what we take from these areas as facts and truth has been manipulated and shaped by a particular bias of those controlling these areas.
Great job Amyah❤
Perfect Amyah!
Black girl with the black girl hair🎶.You are an angel.Soo beautiful and heavenly.
Amyah, your articulation in the Chinese and Korean language is phenomenal. Love your input on this topic ❤.
Love this thank you for sharing with the world 🌎
That's awesome Amyah
YOU GO GIRL
Perfect said Amyah
Amyah ❤❤❤
Thankyou for addressing the movie.
It is one of my granddaughters favorites. I have never thought twice about the skin color.
Love how you review your talkback ❤❤
Well said Amyah....
very articulate, eloquent as well as loquacious... keep going, girl!!
you the reason why i started watching kdramas ❤❤❤❤
Yes beautiful! Thank you for sharing
❤ your Korean is perfect and your Chinese, you did well!
Going to Korea for a holiday is by far not the same as living there..
I am just wondering; is there an Asian little mermaid? I wonder if their reaction could have been the same or different.
That’s exactly what I was thinking
There are Asian mermaids ofc, but no "Asian Little Mermaid", afaik anyway. I won't claim to have seen all the channels and movies in Asia. My country did make its own version of Batman and Robin decades ago, but everyone understands that it's just a ripoff of the original. It might've been illegal even.
Totally different. They would be excited if the little mermaid was asian
Exactly!
Are you asking if THE Disney company made a major motion picture called The little mermaid with a Chinese or Korean Ariel that premiered worldwide?? Or if another media company made an off brand mermaid movie as stated above?
Hi Amyah. I really love your videos. You're my role model btw :)
wow amyah u are so intelligent and smart. i'm sure you know that by now based of ur boss lady energy and confidence
Honestly i didn't even notice the difference in the skin color when i saw the movie
Hello Amayah, as I am just viewing this video, I feel very saddened by this. It did not matter if her skin was beautiful indigo or cream colored and anything in between, she was still black. That was what mattered. This is all so ridiculous that people are so threatened over an imaginary character such as a mermaid. I can understand why races that has been under represented in the media feeling a sense of pride regarding the movie but why are people so alarmed in a country that is very homogenous getting threatened by a character being played by an African American actress? This is very unfortunate and one of the issues that speaks to the twisted mindset of too many people in the world. God bless you, and thank you for posting a great video.❤❤❤❤
When Halle Singed The OST People Had So Much To Say Also Especially The Asians, The Thing Is They Had Another Asian Sing The OST To But Nothing Was Said.
This young lady got me looking at hieroglyphics 😂
Loveeee this hairstyle
I love your hair so much what kind of product do you using
I LIKE this one because she is beautiful, and she can sing, Also she looks like Janet Jackson.
I LOVE YOU BABY!! I WATCH ASIAN DRAMAS AND YOU ARE SPEAKING THE TRUTH. I AM TRYING TO LEARN CHINESE , BECAUSE I LOVE TO WATCH THE DRAMAS. MAY GOD BLESS AMYAH IN THE MIGHTYNAME OF JESUS. KEEP STUDYING. KEEP PRESSING ON GOD GOT IT. WITH THE LIITLE MERMAID THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT HER ON A RED WIG. HER COLOR WAS NOT BAD AND HER ACTING AND SINGING WAS SPOT ON. SHE NEEDED THE RED HAIR THOUGH. IF YOU DID THE RESEARCH. YOU WOULD SEE THAT THEY WERE BLACK ! THEY PAINTED THEIR FACES WHITE, THEN THE LIGHTERONE MARRIED THE LIGHTER TONES. HENSE THAT IS WHY WE HAVE LIGHTER ASIANS. SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
i Love your hair girl
Its sad were 2023 still things aren't going up.
Asians will always have a long way to go accepting diversity, I think that’s just who they are. They don’t like dark skin
They even have a black version of Beauty and the Beast
Well done Amyah. Great review. However, I have to disagree with you on the fact that you said it'd be understandable "if it were some African tribal princess etc, etc". I wouldn't see anything wrong with that. You're literally condemning the tribal African beauty standards, too, just like the Koreans and Chinese are doing. Black representation in the cinemas is equally relevant to both Africans, and African American, just so you know. That being said, I love watching your videos and will continue watching, as you grow and discover many things in your journey to greatness.
amyah looks younger than her age
Beautiful beautiful😊😊❤
Well they think they are better than black people which is not true, anyway we are here to stay they must deal with that. BLACK is BEAUTIFUL period. Love you girl you are the best, look at you, a black beauty and intelligent girl so articulate speaking how many languages. How many of them can speak another language other than their language let alone African language. Thank you well said❤
Youngster you are getting vicious with your languages 👍🏿👍🏿
❤❤❤❤
Mehn you're just sooooo smart 🤓
Wow smart and beautiful looking just like your mom ..❤❤❤
bruuuh i was all in until, in th very beginning, you mention loona...??? as copy & paste ??? lmao
What’s y’all problem with black skin????
East Asians, namely Koreans and Chinese absolutely abhor black skin and people. They worship white people and white skin which is why all their skin care products have whitening in them. It’s really a shame smfh.
I'm not Asian but from growing up around a lot of Asian people, they say it goes back to slavery in their country, the slaves/servants had to work outside while the kings and queens could rest in doors, and because they were indoors most of the time, they didn't get a tan, so people knew they did not have to work, which was a sign of royalty and a high status. This reminds me of black American history and black people issues with colorism. Even White people had that for years, you know the term in old stories "who's the fairest of them all"? They were saying they're the palest and they look like wealth because they didn't have to go outside and work.
The way you read the article so fast is giving me motivation to study Korean more🥲

In my opinion, ppl whose imagination is so limited that they are stuck on the color of the newest Ariel, have major issues. That’s a personal problem, not a Disney problem.
I see the insane beauty standards too but i still like their movies 😂 better than what Hollywood has now.
Wonderfully Articulated! Signed, A Brown Skin Grandma❤️🙏🏽🧸🌸
Same with Japanese Anime. Many Asians see whites as or white skin as beautiful although the characters in Anime are still Asian they look very white skinned. The booming beauty/plastic surgery business in China and Korea show many Asians trying to modify their features into European features. This has been going on for a very long time. Some Asians may see some blacks as beautiful but not anywhere as beautiful as compared to Europeans. You should look into traveling to Ghana or a West African country to travel to. They have opened their citizenship rights to Blacks in the Diaspora. And learning to speak Swahili would be good as well although many countries in West Africa speak English and French.
No the Japanese support Halle as Ariel because the movie was number 1 in Japan 😊 I love anime and I'm proud of them.
@@ieshjust16However, it was soon surpassed by the movie Flash and animated Spider-Man.
@@Magnolia- doesn't matter at least they supported it... and everyone watched Spiderman when it came out.
Caucasians think sun-kissed skin is beautiful, Asians are the opposite. Pale skin back then meant that you had enough money to not work in the fields where your skin would darken. It became that "pale skin = rich or nobility". Europeans have the coveted pale skin and they didn't even try, so we're frankly envious. Plus their colorful eyes and hair? It's intriguing. It's exotic, and honestly you're gonna be looked at like an animal at a zoo. Sometimes not in a good way. (people are gonna ask for your hair and touch your eyes)
Meanwhile dark skin is looked down on. The darker you are the "poorer" you must be. You might even be looked at like you're literal dirt. Asians have mostly moved away from that but most still favor pale skin.
That said, that's not the main reason why the Asians disliked the live action. It's becauss it's a live action again. Because of the raceswap. Because the trailer looked horrible. Halle Bailey is cute, but not someone I'd describe as very beautiful. Because there are better shows to watch locally, internationally, and in Hollywood too.
…hence why I stopped supporting/watching any & everything which lacks DIVERSITY…Period👍
And you want to study in Asia?
Well some people wants to experience how is abroad and with that experience make their conclusions.
There are enough black owned movie companies that to be honest can create their own movies and characters. We do not have to take someone else’s narrative to make our own.
Ariel not asian either so why tf was they so mad...thats just racism
I know I’m late to the party. The original fabled mermaids were on / off the coast of Africa. Look it up. That is why this entire topic is laughable.
I wonder what people think of the new Peter Pan. Peter is definitely not white. I heard Hispanics are getting hate as well. The Hispanic girl from doctor strange who’s name was America I believe is a minor and they said the hate was massive also. I think we should all have our own characters, but Brandy as Cinderella & Whitney as the fairy godmother was 🔥 Why do Asians care so much about a white cartoon when whites can careless about them that’s more of the ? They wanted to hop on that yt band wagon so bad smh.
Just a curiosity I have … being of African descent why did you not choose to become fluent in any African language?
If I'm not mistaken, she's black American, black Americans are mixed, not half and half but have a lot of mixture in their background,(different types of European, native & African) so they don't belong to 1 African tribe like African people from Africa.
She's Black American.
Hello and thank you for the replies. I am aware that her nationality is American. I am referring to her ancestry! Her Mom Alana has specifically spoken about her Parents being African, so I was just curious why she hadn’t invested in learning and acclimating with her true bloodline. Not that she has to, I am just curious if Amyah may have considered it but didnt want to be influenced by that part of her heritage. I do think with her step father being of Korean descent it’s a beautiful melding to learn his culture, language, etc as well.
@@JUST_COMMENTARY Alana's dad has been on the channel plenty of times. Pretty sure he's also American
@@andrean40 They are all American I am aware, thank you. You can be born in America but have ancestral ties to other countries… But again Alana has spoken about her African lineage and I am curious if Amyah ever considered to learn and study about their African heritage and language. 😅
Japan is better in terms of trying to be more accepting of diversity. Annnnd they have the best horror genre EVER! 🎉 in my humble opinion.
How are we sure that mermaids in reality were whites😂😂, who gave them that idea 😮
Personally it made no difference to me who played Ariel. I do believe we should see new disney movies with black characters like an African princess. The only main black character was Tiana from the Princess and the Frog which was set in New Orleans and is one of my favourite disney movies.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that character design should remain the same regardless of race relevancy because design is iconic but I don't think alot of critics we're valid from ALOT of people. Like people straight up saying fishes don't have melanin? Like WHA? Either way didn't watch it cus I hate remakes
Edit:I actually would've Loved seeing an all African mermaid story
I decided to not watch the movie when I found out that mermaids are actually demons, marine spirits actually. I was annoyed when disney made the black "princess" cartoon _Princess_ _&_ _the_ _Frog_ movie have literal witchcraft in it & now this one too. Honestly, I will be refraining from watching movies from Hollywood from now on. You should pray before you watch movies & shows too. I've paid the price for it before so I'm not doing it again.
Wise choice !

Just like them making Tinkerbell black😪..its a shame
일단 한국인이면 이 문제를 인종차별로 보는 사람은 아주 드물 듯.. 명색이 '인어공주 실사화 영화'인데, 인종을 떠나서 캐릭터 싱크로율에 심각하게 문제가 있다고 느끼게 된다는 것. 물론 정말로 흑인은 무조건 안된다고 떠드는 인종차별주의자도 있겠지만, 적어도 한국인이 느끼는 건 단순히 흑인에리얼이라는 문제가 아님.. 아시안이 인종차별한다는 뉴스들은 솔직히 이유조차 제대로 파악하지 못하고 그렇게 몰아가고 있는 것 같음.
그리고 영화만 괜찮으면 볼 사람들은 다 보기 때문에..😊
agree
That because Koreans are in denial about everything. You all are very much racist, even to Koreans that are mixed. Are you kidding me? Your country definitely ranks pretty high on the list of most racist, but the difference is you all will never admit it.
To be honest, if a white actress gets cast for black character, Koreans might react the same way. I don't think it is about racism. Just they want an originality rather than diversity.
Actually, that could be a double edge sword. If you look at some of the movies in the past and some that were not too far in the past, they didn’t bat an eye. you wondering which movies were talking about there’s been several that came out and to find out they had cast white actors in the place of minority, but nobody talks much about it because they didn’t see nothing wrong about it only minorities point that out. It was kind of weird to a point It was like they were sweeping it up under the rug. That’s why you didn’t see a lot of people talking about it like they’re talking about the little mermaid or other remakes that has minorities in the place of white peoples a lot more up on the media, where the other ones that had white people in minority roles weren’t on the media like that. they had Johnny Depp casted as a Native American, nobody talked about it the only people that pointed out that Johnny Depp played in a role like that was Native American and Black people or maybe some Hispanics but other people were quiet and I’m sure there’s other movies that nobody paid attention to it, or possibly gaslight it people that pointed that out at the time. like heck I didn’t even know the movie Tropic thunder that one of the characters was in black face. It was a big surprise for me to see that but I know people don’t like to hear it. They like to act like they’re oblivious or don’t believe this there’s no way could be true but if you look at all the movies dating back, maybe 50s or 60s going up till now there was never this much of a cancer up the butt of an issue with it when white people were playing Asian characters or Hispanic or Romanian in the list goes on, so that’s why I say it’s a double edge sword. Now is the problem because these directors are deciding to switch it up and put minorities in white characters spaces it’s like you guys are getting a touch of your old medicine being thrown in your face but by your own directors that are white people so it’s interesting to see their reactions but I don’t see what they’re getting out of this. they might as well make newer characters and who cares if racist white people don’t want to watch these new characters to hell with them and hopefully they get hit by a car who cares but they will be more newer stories that relate to the cultures of minorities that will go out through history and white people can never open her mouth to say that they were originally connected to these stories that come from these cultures. It would be good if they did it like that but what do I know, I guess the movie industry currently don’t give a rats behind right now and I’m sure that as open minded we’re trying to work towards right now our kids will surpass us and they won’t care. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they look back at these movies and some of them say they like it.🤔
You don’t think it’s about racism? Ahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@fusemore1059No way.
If Snoop Dogg, D.Dre, Luke Cage are white actors, Koreans wouldn't like that. We just love the originality.
@@kuratainoma852 But Korean's aren't even white, they bleach their skin and stay out of the sun to appear white, but white people in America and the UK, do not see asians as white, they call them yellow skin/tan skin people. That's why Asian people look crazy being upset about Arial, a made up, WHITE mermaid.😂😭
I wish you wouldn’t accuse the entire Asian race of protesting against the new Ariel. Many homogenous countries, in Asia, the Middle East and in Europe lack diversity and inclusion, period. And they need to do better. However, in the US, for example, many of my Asian friends have shown strong and resounding support for their fellow black/African American communities. My Asian friends have made it a point to go see the movie specifically because they wanted to support it. In addition many if not all of the major Asian groups/coalitions I can think of in the US have strongly backed the BLM movement, the Asian community has come out in droves to participate in support. I also have friends in the countries of which you speak who are extremely passionate about diversity and inclusion. racist minds exist among every ethnic group and other countries and ours as a collective need to do better and we need to do more but Im not a fan of typecasting a whole race at least as far as your video title is concerned
What are you taking about? She's addressing the Chinese and South Koreans... Not all Asians. For example, the movie debuted number 1 in Japan. Glad they didn't follow the hate train.
I bet you were sleep watching this video 😂
LOL she stated Chinese and South Korea.
Hoolay! Lol I tried to listen to you but was too distracted by your constant wiggling movements, moving side to side…🫨
