I know! I totally agree! The token black guy, they have him in every group! When it comes to drama, he's there so no one seems racist, in horror movies its the same thing but they kill the dude off first, and now its the same with fantasy movies, black mermaid gets gutted. What the heck?! As for my coloured contribution to the mers, I am Native American
so the the saddest/sweetest thing happened to me this weekend.
i was at a local pool braving to put on my mermaid Tail and swim with a couple of friends
the pool really wasn't that crowed or anything just me, my four friends, and like six adults and five little kids
so as i'm trying to convince myself to just go ahead and out the tail on and get the fuck in the pool, my friends chanting "YOU CAN DO IT!"
I this little black girl sitting by the shallow end on the stairs looking sad and grumpy so i told my friend to shut it and walked over and asked her what was wrong.
apparently she had wanted to play mermaids with the other girls but on of the girls had simply said to her "but mermaids aren't black"
no the little girl hadn't said it to be cruel or anything i think she was simply obzerving what she has seen on tv and in pictures
so i told the little girl that that of course mermaids were black and i was one
to which she says reather cutely
but your a boy right?
to which i nodded and said yes but boys can be mermaids too
so i told her to wait where she was at and i would show her. i put my tail
snuck into the pool and swam right passed the other girls playing mermaid and over to the girl on the stairs
i have never seen such a huge excited smile in my life.
i put her on my back and swam over to the girls again and said
"i'm Shionie's mermaid friend, she says you won't let her play mermaids with you. thats not very nice. Shionie makes a very pretty mermaid"
my first swim in my tail and i end up making some little girl's day.
i'm like in happy tears i swear.

Calypso, that's such a beautiful story!! Perfect right place/right time moment, you must have felt amazing
I honestly i felt like i was some kind of underwater fairy tail hero
the little black girl's mother thanked me over and over and said that it was a shame that there weren't mermaid African american mermaid for her little girl to look up to so i asked for her email address and sent her all the picture i had that were kid appropriate that featured black, African, Cuban, and any other mermaids of color i had.
i even told her about fishbutts for getting a tail for Shionie

Found out about a new movie featuring POC as the main characters!
Calypso -- amazing story- great job !! And yes I want to see more mermaids and mermen of all colors ! Our differences are what makes us all beautiful and unique. I have Doreen Virtue's Mermaid Oracle Cards and I know there's a few Mermaids of color in there too...I'll try to post them,
Thanks for sharing the beautiful images. I especially love the one with the earth in her belly
On a related note, I had this vision before that it would be really cool to see more tribal or native styled merfolk like tails and costumes that are inspired by traditional dress of people from different continents and countries....like a South American themed Mermaid, African themed, Asian, Native American, Inuit, etc, etc. Some one could really go crazy with that theme....like Mermaids from around the world
I am one of the few dark mermaids on this forum. I am half Italian and half Black. I will try to defeat my social phobia and fear of people and attend the conventions some times. But not just yet. I am too afraid of crowds at this point and I would hate to have a major emotional setback if I attend an event and anything happens to make matters worst. I remember one of the last NON mer conventions I went to about 10 years ago, strangers I was being introduced to were making off the wall snarky comments to me.

In the Disney series of the little mermaid there was a colored mermaid with a pink tail and she was deaf. She had an Octopus that translated her deaf talk. Is this the one you meant Psychic Tideborn ?
