I'm Danish. I grew up on the REAL version of The Little Mermaid. Having her portrayed by a Black actress doesn't impact the legacy of Hans Christian Anderson. What does, is having an American company rewrite the story to suit their imperialist values. Go complain about that.

Clearly the message has not sunk in yet so let me repeat. Demonstrating outside of Jewish institutions to protest against Israeli actions is antisemitism pure and simple. It should not be happening in Thornhill or anywhere else in Canada.
