Trevor Noah went off on people who have issues with the new “Little Mermaid” character being Black. He said, “They both have the tail, they both have the red [hair]. Once again, a bunch of internet racists are upset that a fictional character is being played by a Black person. This is so ridiculous. And honestly, I don’t know what the big deal is. You guys realize that Nemo was Black too, right? Yeah! The whole movie was about a fish that can’t find his dad.” He also said, “I hope this scandal doesn’t overshadow the rest of the movie. The Little Mermaid is a beautiful story about a young woman changing her core identity to please a man. Let’s not forget about that, people.”
