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.

Yes, it definitely could be considered cultural appropriation or whitewashing if the group of white kids are not also presenting a production based on their own cultural experiences, but instead are presenting a story and a character from another culture in a way that doesn't acknowledge or respect its significance to the people who live it. However, if the performance is respectful and celebrates the heritage and traditions of the culture instead of just using it for entertainment, then it wouldn't necessarily be inappropriate. It would just depend on the details of the performance.  So if the performance shows understanding of the cultural significance, there should be nothing wrong with a group of white kids presenting a play about Aladdin.  In the end it comes down to intent and recognition of the context.
