Ariel is fictional. People making a big deal over her skin color are racist.

But if you're filming about a real person and calling it a documentary, get the known facts right. Cleopatra was Greek. End of issue. And we also have tons of documentaries on her; we don't need to retread over her story again, especially if they're going to get something so fundamental wrong and it just panders to conspiracy theorists.

There are tons of awesome actually black queens that haven't gotten a major documentary.

All of this. Ariel is fictional and can absolutely be black if the producers of the movie want, and like you said, making a big deal over that is indeed racist.

Cleopatra was real. She wasn't black. There are many, many African queens who WERE in fact black, so if they wanted to do a documentary about a black African queen, it isn't as if there was any shortage of potential subjects to pick from.
