I would said it is different. Arabic people are not westerner but the ones from middle eat are definitely white. The character drawn doesn’t look Arabic whatsoever. I would have thought he is british. Romani are not fully white but definitely westerner, just not the vanilla-type. The Tibetan character is drawn as a white guy with high liner. The actress playing Ariel has definitely some African roots but I would called here mixed-race rather that black.
It just another kind of biais. I don’t pretend my way is better or closer to reality but it is funny that my biais clashes so much with OP’s.
I think you are saying the cartoons are not accurate representations to begin with? I am from the US but not too familiar with the cartoons. I barely watched the original Mermaid when it came out on VHS because I was watching my younger cousins. the other ones I thought were Marvel characters. which also I don’t know.
That funny because when I put my non-USA definition of is white and not-white or african, this image as absolutely no meaning.
Do you mean your idea of white is more inclusive or less inclusive and where are you from?
And who qualifies as black or African where you’re from?
