[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My half-Bangladeshi-half white cousin is routinely cast as Arab and Hispanic characters. Its not unique to this movie. (Not defending the practice, just saying it's common.)[/quote] +1. You see it with East Asians a ton (Chinese actors cast as Japanese characters, Koreans cast as Chinese, etc). And people of color that are a) not Hispanic and b) not Black and c) not East Asian often get lumped into one big pool and cast for roles that have nothing to do with their ethnicity, the casting folks are just looking for someone brown. One exception seems to be that roles that are about people of Indian descent get played by people of Indian descent with more frequency. [/quote]
