I guess because Naomi Scott is only half indian.

Less "only half Indian" and more "half Indian at all", given she's supposed to be Arabic. Half-white, half-Indian playing an Arabic princess screams colorism and I get what they're angry about. Nothing wrong with the actress but they certainly copped out race wise.

I mean are there any Arabian actresses on the rise? I’d get if they didn’t wanna get a newcomer and instead someone who’s relatively new to the game but still has some things under their belt (Power Rangers).

I’ve shown the stills and magazine cover to a couple of my friends and family. These are the responses I’ve gotten:

 

“Looks wack af honestly”

“Genie looks like a deformed avatar”

”I don’t like the cast”

”Those actors aren’t known” (referring to Naomi and Mena)

'Tis the season to be overly negative? Seems to be a lot of bashing and unfounded criticism based on some pics. Not sure if that's just people trying to cause the movie to tank or from Disney haters or what?

 

It's not like this movie is poised to be an Oscar contender. It's just a fun take on the classic.

Some guy says something on twitter, let's sit and wait for white-media to act as if these are the thoughts of millions of people and start labelling it as "controversy".

 

Here's a DailyMail article that's pretty much a solid example of this kind of "reporting"

Five out of context tweets = every millenial on earth.
