I was also thinking she looks really weird there, Such BIG eyes

Mind blowing. I can't imagine them making a movie set in Asia or Africa with all good main characters being white, so why do they think this is fine and everyone acts the same as well, when people would be screaming genocide if Disney had a white character in a setting where white people were a minority?
And if the goal was to have non white characters, what' the reason for even going out of their way to intentionally use a european setting and not set it in fictional China, Morocco or Kenya with the same diverse cast, especially since they could use the same flawed logic that these place were historically diverse at some point in the past and it would actually align with their agenda in putting non whites in front and the main characters would make more sense?
Race is a social construct, nobody has a real definition of race because there's not oneJules wrote: โThu Sep 21, 2023 4:19 am Not to get embroiled in this whole race thing, but since when are Spaniards not white?
I'm from a Mediterranean country, like Spain. We're white here. Maybe not as white as Sweden or Finland, but Caucasian nevertheless. I believe the same applies for other southern European countries including Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Unless I am mistaken even northern African countries like Libya or Tunisia are technically white. Their skintone may be a bit darker than what you'll find in Southern Europe, but they're also Caucasoids.
I dunno ...

Amaya is a name that comes from Paรญs Vasco and the head band looks very inspired in La Dama de Elche as you said. In my opinion they made a great job with herPokenonbinary wrote: โThu Sep 21, 2023 3:03 amEdit: is that guy even spaniard/portuguese to get mad in our behalf?Lele wrote: โThu Sep 21, 2023 2:36 am I'm still amazed how the biggest next Disney movie is set in Europe, using culture, clothes etc and all that white people invented, with all main characters being non white, erasing them while using their own country and culture, and the only prominent white character being the evil guy - the first Disney had in a while.

What is even whiteness?
Why King Magnifico is considered white by him when he has the same skin tone as the rest of the brown characters
Spain has been always a diverse country, it's documented in history, the movie is set during the Al Andalus (or maybe after but around that time)
Spaniards are not white, spaniard is a nationality, millions of """"native""""" spaniards would never get considered white in the USA, there are many videos from spaniards living in the USA and not being considered white by the people.
So don't include us in your neon4z! idea of european racial purity supremacy
Spain is not white and will never be white (not even the indigenous iberos from pre-Roman times where white, they were dark-skinned)
Edit2:
Queen Amaya is so spaniard, she looks so valencian fallera mixed with "La Dama De Elche", also her name is very clearly based (at least I think) in the iconic Carmen Amaya
I know Amaya is euskera, but in my opinion they copied that name from Carmen Amaya, she constantly gets viral tweets in English every 4 or 5 months, so it's not impossible that Fawn the directors knows her existenceThumper_93 wrote: โFri Sep 22, 2023 5:22 amAmaya is a name that comes from Paรญs Vasco and the head band looks very inspired in La Dama de Elche as you said.

But Asha is very explicitly spanish, she's from the al andalus period, her name is Wish in Arabic and her mom name is also Arabiccarolinakid wrote: โFri Sep 22, 2023 7:08 am Theyโre probably keeping the location deliberately vague so as to avoid having to explain why there are so many non-Spanish characters in a film set in Espaรฑa , except for, as you say, el Rey y la Reina.
In a fictional place such as Rosas more โdiversityโ boxes can be checked.
