AFAIK, mermaids are not an African myth, although they may be very old cabal symbology and not European either.
If Disney were telling an African story with a non African actress, I think it would look out of place.
Mermaids exist in various cultures including Africa,
If they want to "Africanize" The Little Mermaid, they could at least call it by it's african name
yeah honestly they could have just set this in 1700's Wakanda and it would've been a lot more palatable - but that's not the goal
