Right wing racist turn around is fair play!
Hehe
Point!
In case anyone missed what this was about:
Racists are trying to use ‘science’ to prove mermaids can’t be black. Yes, really
Yes, according to science, mermaids are white because they live under water and have less melanin, which means a lighter skin colour.

My opinion on why mermaids are white is that they live so deep underwater that sunlight hardly reaches them, thus the lack of melanin. It doesn't matter what ocean they're from cos they could've been migrating seasonally like fishes. But maybe im thinking too much.
