Disney cast a Canadian man and a British woman as the leads (despite both being of Middle Eastern descent),


Are you this ignorant that you think Indians are Middle Eastern? People were pissed because Disney didn’t give a shot that there is kind of a huge difference between the two cultures and Indians and Pakistanis are not in there Middle East.

I didn't realize that Naomi Scott's background is Indian and not Middle Eastern. My bad. The actor portraying Aladdin was born in Cairo, Egypt, although he grew up in Canada.
