Yep.

I'm guessing Anders is a foreign prince looking to marry Jasmine.


Pretty much.

Spoilers, he doesn't get the girl.


Exactly. I don't get the point of this. Aladdin is still the hero, and Jasmine is still the trophy. I can't wait for all of the anger to come out if this new Prince character was created solely to be the butt monkey.

Aladdin is Chinese, Jasmine is Arabian (so white, Middle Eastern, and Black could all potentially apply) . If people are gonna bitch about race changes and what not do it the first time not in an adaptation of an adaptation of an adaptation.

In the original 1001 Nights he was a Chinese guy, his story was written by a French dude in 18th century when the stories were first being translated into english.

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

A Chinese dude ruled by sultans, cavorting with genies, and with relatives in Africa. He's a "Chinese" man living as a dude from the middle east while living in a middle eastern setting. Just like how the crunchwrap supreme is authentic Mexican.

Good Boy. Sorry I wasn't clear on that.

I mean his response to your comment was he's a Chinese man living in the Middle East a land ruled by sultans so he's not Chinese. I mean even Stretch Armstrong can't reach that far.

Hey look, white or Arab, straight or gay, Muslim or otherwise, the only character in Aladdin I'm gonna identify with is the one fucking Jasmine. You don't have to write a blond haired asshole for me to identify with. I'm not going to see myself reflected in this stooge anyway.

This.

Plus it does make sense for a foreign prince to try to get a marriage with princess Jasmine. That would expand his power.

That makes sense, but there aren't any places near by that would be white, is there? A black person would make more sense.

I mean it was the entire Arabian peninsula so Italy would be pretty close.

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.

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.

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? Genie wasn't Arabian or even Middle Eastern in the original movie. He's a damn magical genie that lives in a lamp for crying out loud.

Having a homosexual person in the cast of any Disney movie would work fine because, contrary to what you may have heard, homosexuality occurs in all countries, unlike, you know, different races.
