Where are the cries for casting a non-Asian person is playing the genie? Where is your mock outrage?

You know there are black people in the Middle East, right?

Why would a genie need to be Asian? Genies are originally from Mesopotamia. If anything he should be Middle-Eastern.

You obviously don’t understand how this works. Let me help you.

1. It’s ok to cast a traditionally non-black character with a black actor.

2. It’s not ok to ever cast a traditionally black character with anything other than a black actor.

3. If casting a traditionally black character with a black actor, said actor must be sufficiently black.

Remember those three rules and you can’t go wrong.

Smith isn't going to be breaking any barriers or anything.

I just checked with the PC police and you have been overruled.

I'm guessing the Kingdom of Agrabah is in the Middle East which is in Western Asia.

Facts.

You know genies aren't real? Tell me you know genies aren't real. It's important to me that you know that.

He will just be copying what Robin Williams did. The true genius is the person who people are copying.
