It sucks for Naomi. She's not a ScarJo/Emma Stone level actor who has plenty of opportunities in the industry. She is also a WOC, even if a white passing one (I personally don't think she's that white passing but that's pretty subjective).
Despite my adoration of Disney's Aladdin, this particular aspect has always been messy though. They conflated different cultures together and put a lot of Indian influences in the original movie like Agrabah and its palace based on the Taj Mahal and its native city Agra, the many armed idol, elephant, tiger imagery etc. As a result, Indians too felt a strong connection to the film due to the cultural ambiguity.
It was easier to overlook when it was an animated film, tv show etc. from the 90's. In a live action film set in the 10's though, yeah... people are going to call it out. It was one of the biggest reasons I hoped they wouldn't touch Aladdin during the live action remake spree, but greedy ole Disney gotta milk it.
