Apparently it's inappropriate for a group of white kids to put on a play of Aladdin, as it is racially insensitive and cultural appropriation. Possibly white washing.
I wonder if we'll see more Jews in Nativity Pageants come Christmas season this year.

No, this is absurd. Aladdin is a fictional character, so it's not like it's depicting a historical event or anything. This type of thing used to happen all the time when people would dress up and put on plays, so it's not really fair to call it cultural appropriation. White people are allowed to be in plays and wear costumes just like everyone else. That being said, if they're trying to be respectful they should definitely try to find some Middle Eastern actors or choose a Middle Eastern theme instead of Aladdin in order to avoid any controversy. In the end, it's up to the parents of those white kids and the school district to decide what they deem appropriate and not offensive.
