@Popdropper: Actually, to be fair, Jasmine being changed from Arabic to African could slightly work if we go by the Islamic Empire as a whole since its borders reached as far as North Africa. But yes, it is indeed stupid changing Ariel's ethnicity like that, not to mention lazy. Like I said a few times, having Lin Manuel Miranda be among the production cast was a mistake, since I blame that for Ariel's race lift (he did something similar with Hamilton, and he actually barred whites from applying to any roles in the play).
