I'd bet a dollar he's right.

They tried to hire a black female right out of the gate. This is before any auditions. They ended up with a black female, nobody else was ever rumored for the role, she's from within the Disney family, and I can't find any evidence of a casting call. It's an assumption, but the evidence is pointing me to that conclusion. the only evidence of any sort of search is Rob Marshall commenting about finding this girl. That doesn't prove anything either way. Feel free to prove it wrong, and I will withdraw the assumption.
Side note: There was (is?) a weird online casting call for a Little Mermaid movie by Universal directed by Sofia Coppola, which clearly never happened.
Also, Scuttle is being played by an Asian girl, Flouder by a white boy, and the villain by a white woman. Hopefully, they'll get Aziz Anzari to play Sebastian and a Muslim Prince Eric to complete the rainbow and get every person on Earth to come see the movie.
I honestly don't give a fuck about this casting, but I find it offensive for four reasons:
1. Forced diversity is not a good thing. It's especially bad when you do it for business reasons (trying to maximize audience), but claim to be doing it for equality. I am so sick and tired of people being called racist because something they grew up KNOWING gets completely changed and react negatively to it. That's not fucking racism! You're actually creating racism by claiming it is racism. People don't like change as a rule. It doesn't matter if you're changing back story, powers, skin color, or eye color, fans will be pissed. That doesn't mean they're racist.
(That doesn't excuse actual racists. Once someone says, "I don't want a nigger playing this role" they are clearly racist and their opinion no longer matters.)
2. Redheads have a legit complaint. As a fan of hot redhead women, this irritates me. I was looking forward to seeing a scantily clad redheaded woman. And why is it still ok to push redheads aside and be racist to them? They could have cast any of the princesses as black, but they went for the redhead...
3. Whitey is constantly told how they're racist and guilty of cultural appropriation if they enjoy rap music or a PB&J. Yet, somehow if black people commit cultural appropriation, whitey is still the racist.
4. Melanin being important for the skin of a creature that lives under the sea is some serious bullshit. That was my complaint about Aquaman's casting too and I dig Momoa. Dude was amazing as Drogo.

They could have put Hermione on that list, with a black girl playing her on stage. She's kind of ginger, right? Or am i thinking of a weasley.
Anyway, Nick Fury is happy all the white roles are getting recast as black.

Weasleys were straight up ginger, Hermoine was not. To be fair, in the book, Hermoine has super bushy hair, no? So she got straightened.

Halle Bailey is way prettier than her. She also looks sort of like a fish already.
Plus, anyone associated with the Kardashians needs to be launched into the sun.

Forbes calls bullshit on Rotten Tomatoes audience score for this film.
The writer makes a hell of a strong case that the review score is being massaged by the studio. RT's page for the movie. Click on the scores to see how they change when you filter out the likely paid accounts.

Actress hates the story.
She's bitching about the story, yet claims to have loved the original? Who the hell her age doesn't know the entire story from the original animated movie that she claimed to want to emulate in an earlier tweet? It also did not change from the original. She's either a liar or a complete moron.

Male porn star in the cast.
Is he swinging his crank around or drilling someone in TLM? No? Then who gives a fuck?
