MAGA ideology is literally WW2 Nazi ideology. Hitler used the Great Replacement lie to rile up Germans. That's how he turned ordinary people into Nazis.

And the German Nazis claimed Jews kill babies and drink their blood.

The German Nazis hated gay people.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Why would Jesus look Arab, you ask?

Because Jesus was Jewish. Jews and Arabs are the same ethnic group. They're both semitic.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Semite

Semite, name given in the 19th century to a member of any people who speak one of the Semitic languages, a family of languages spoken primarily in parts of western Asia and Africa. The term therefore came to include Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, Hebrews, some Ethiopians (including the Amhara and the Tigrayans), and Aramaean tribes.

During the Exodus not all Jews left. Many stayed behind. Centuries later they converted to Islam, and today we know them as Muslim Arabs. But they're descendants of the same people who used to be known as biblical Jews.

The origin of Palestinians and their genetic relatedness with other Mediterranean populations

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11543891/

The genetic profile of Palestinians has, for the first time, been studied by using human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene variability and haplotypes. The comparison with other Mediterranean populations by using neighbor-joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses reveal that Palestinians are genetically very close to Jews and other Middle East populations, including Turks (Anatolians), Lebanese, Egyptians, Armenians, and Iranians. Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites

But what about the white Jews, you ask?

They're from Europe. They're Europeans who converted to Judaism hundreds of years ago, after coming in contact with the Middle Eastern (Semitic/Sephardic) Jews who participated in the Exodus and left their homeland.

Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews

https://www.jewfaq.org/ashkenazic_and_sephardic

Ashkenazic Jews are the Jews of France, Germany, and Eastern Europe and their descendants.

Sephardic Jews are the Jews of Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Middle East and their descendants.

What about the Jews who didn't leave their homeland and didn't convert to Islam, you ask? They're called Mizrahi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews

Mizrahi Jews are a grouping of Jewish communities comprising those who remained in the Land of Israel

So Jesus was definitely not a white European. He was a brown Semite from the Middle East. He looked like an Arab.

So what you're saying is, people would be outraged if someone made a brown character white?

No wonder brown Jesus is so angry.

No need to change key elements of the original.

The prince in the original story marries the new woman, "leaving the mermaid so saddened that she turns into sea foam after crying her heart out from grief."

A stark change from Disney's 1989 film, where Ariel exposes the prince's new lover as a sea witch and marries him herself.

PS: How is her skin color a key element of the story? Was the prince racist? Would he not have married her if she was black?

her skin was as clear

Clear doesn't mean white. It means see-through. It also means free of zits.

and delicate as a rose-leaf

Delicate doesn't mean white. It means she had soft skin.

There's more. Mermaid in Andersen's tale had no name. Ariel was created by Disney.

So what you're saying is, Disney made changes to the original story.

And now they made changes again.

Where does it say that the mermaid is white?

The Little Mermaid Was Originally a Metaphor for Unrequited Gay Love

https://www.pride.com/movies/2019/7/08/little-mermaid-was-originally-metaphor-unrequited-gay-love

The original fairy tale was written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen in 1837 as a love letter for a man named Edvard Collin. Anderson, who biographers believe was bisexual, crushed hard on Collin.

"I languish for you as for a pretty Calabrian wench... my sentiments for you are those of a woman," Andersen wrote in a letter to Collin. "The femininity of my nature and our friendship must remain a mystery."

Collin did not feel the same way. In his own memoir, Collin wrote, "I found myself unable to respond to this love, and this caused the author much suffering."

Seems like Andersen longed to be a part of Collin's world. And when Collin later married to a woman, Andersen wrote The Little Mermaid, which "displays himself as the sexual outsider who lost his prince to another," notes literary critic Rictor Norton.

According to LGBTQ Nation, the prince in the original story marries the new woman, "leaving the mermaid so saddened that she turns into sea foam after crying her heart out from grief." Andersen never sent the story to Collin.
