1.  I will say this, accounting for the examples of whitewashing you provided, correcting my initial comment: it can be done. But surely not to a character on the level Ariel.

2. My second major point would be this: I don't care much about whitewashing or changing races otherwise. I care about selective outrage. About double standards.

1. Mel Gibson played Jesus.  I dare you to find a character on that level to gripe about, because Ariel is completely out of her depth when compared to that level of historical and cultural significance. 

2. Then your response will be evaluated with this in mind. 

When did he do that? Morgan Freeman played his father though and nobody complained. Jesus' father, not Gibson's I mean. But I don't think anyone would complain about that either.
