In this case specifically, someone could prefer the white version for entirely non-racist reasons. Stickler for adaptational accuracy, the less weird looking of the actress' eyes, the improved color aesthetic from the more clashing of white/red vs blue instead of brown/brown on blue. None of those are anti-black or from a place of hate really, but can draw people to this option regardless. The color one is my personal beef, because christ its so washed out and plain looking.
Let's not pretend anybody is watching Disney films for source fidelity. They gave Hunchback of Notre Dame a happy ending FFS.
There is also the simple reversal of "you race swapped it in the first place, doing it back is only fair." Which is what I wager this instance is more than any racism itself.
Yes, it's just a troll, which is funny in itself. I just object to it because:
The aforementioned handing ammo to your enemy
Giving more oxygen to Disney. I realize shitting on their garbage is fun, but it helps keep everyone aware of it. It's like in the old days when people would say "I hate ShitCo, so I'm going to pirate their game."
Well, you're still populating the servers, contributing to its popularity, which attracts more players.
It's the same with the public awareness. There's no such thing as bad publicity.
It's actually defensive. Weak. It's just a reaction to ground that has already been taken.
Instead, parachute behind enemy lines. Use the same tech on famous black heroes and historical figures to really drive home the absurdity of race swapping. Put John Wayne's face on Shaka Zulu. Replace Shaft with Clint Eastwood. Take the whipping scene from Roots and turn Kunta Kinte into Ryan Reynolds.
The Left will still scream, but satire will be so obvious that there will be no way to take it seriously.

Well yes, but we've moved on from the old fable type source. Now Disney's The Little Mermaid is the source material to people for this movie.
That's not even on people either. Disney isn't redoing it from the original material to make a "similar but different" version (like Mulan tried to do), this is them adapting their own work again. So accuracy to source is a valid complaint.
Yes, it's just a troll, which is funny in itself. I just object to it because:
I still disagree on point 1, but that's just our worldviews not being congruent and we won't come to an agreement there.
I do agree on 2, people need to stop hate watching garbage. Its especially bad because they prop up an entire industry of clickbait outrage farmers who watch it and obsessively talk about it. I liked a lot of people in the "Fandom Menace" at first, but they are an example of why this kind of thing is a problem and is being used against us to monetize our outrage.

Anyway, fuck Disney.
