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.
