I admit I was wrong about the black royals existing. but I wasn't originally saying there were NO black people. I was saying there were few, and I didn't think the few there were were royalty. so yea, I guess I was technically wrong. but I still think I have reason to be upset with these casting choices. and we got off topic anyway. a western european prince wouldn't travel all the way to the middle east to get married

Aladdin never needed a token white guy and this decision has most certainly made me change my mind about buying a ticket to see this one.
They've insulted me twice. Once for thinking that I'd be more likely to see a movie if I had a designated character to identify with simply on grounds of racial identity. And once again for telling me that I'm meant to identify with the guy who gets cuckolded by the protagonist. I'm sure he'll get some rebound chick, but I don't give a fuck. I don't need or want a role in this story, but I'm sure as shit not going to watch it and vicariously identify with the guy who loses Jasmine. I don't care for the pandering, racial politics, or soap opera bull shit. This is Aladdin, not some show on the CW. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Skye Reynolds 09/06/17 10:21:22 PM #89: |
If they needed to include a white guy (they didn't), they should have made him a Greek merchant who evades arrest when Aladdin rescues him. Later in the film, the merchant repays the favor.
That's it. That's all you need. A harmless character who feels like he might belong in a more fleshed out version of the original Aladdin story rather than one who would get in the way of it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If thinking people are only capable of identifying with a fictional character when they are represented by someone that shares their race/skin color they deserved to be outraged. That's literally judging people by their race/skin color.

I'm against the whole whitewashing thing, but you do realize the numerous differences between someone intended to represent a person from that particular reegion, and a person who will be painted blue and represents a magical being from some other dimension, right?
