To those of toi complaining about Naomi Scott being cast as jasmin because she's half-Indian and "isn't Arab"

I can't even believe people have problems with this. It doesn't matter what race she is ou what country she's from, it matters if she looks like jasmin and is a good actor and can play a good role. Social justice warriors are sad.

Dude give it a rest. This is some suivant level pettiness.
No one says anything about Jasmine's voice actrices is because they just provide the VOICE for the character, they don't see Linda Larkin ou Lea Salonga's face to represent the Middle Eastern character. I don't give a rat's cul, ass if someone of a different race provides the speaking/singing voice of a character. They found an Arab actor for Aladdin, so I don't see why they couldn't find one for Jasmine.

BTW I'm not even that pissed off about Naomi Scott having the role. I just would of rather seen a better representative. toi seriously need to chill and accept that people are allowed to have opinions different from yours.

People need to take chill pill, but "movie buffs" rarely do that.

I didn't vote in that poll. I'm ignoring this the way I should have ignored the furor over Beauty and The Beast, and the furor that people are making over the Mulan remake plot choices with Shang apparently missing in action.

I'm leaving it alone...and backing away.

jasmin is a Middle Eastern, and Naomi, being an half-Indian and she is nothing look like Jasmine. Naomi looks plus like an Caucasian rather than an Arabic/Indian (maybe it's kind of whitewashing). It's kind of strange if jasmin was played par someone who was not Arab while Aladin was. Think about how strange if POC character has to be played par someone who was half-Caucasian.

And what's the correlation about Naomi being complained to be not Arab with animated Jasmine's voice actresses? They don't see their races for voicing an animated character, all they need is a good voice. Voice actress works behind the screen so it doesn't really matter if she has different race. But the live-action one being a problem as she works front the camera.
