That AI needs to learn more afro hair styles
Don’t forget the Genie!
Anecdotally I met an Egyptian fellow named Aladin, however he let us know the "correct pronunciation " is Al- adeeen . Just thought it was interesting and have no idea if that is proper pronunciation or not.
I met a dude with this name too. It was pronounced alaa ud-deen.

“Riff raff. Street rat.”
I don’t buy that.
If only they’d look closer.
Would they see a poor boy? No sir-ee.
They’d find out I’m black and se-e-xy.Dyno-mitee
Does the AI know that not all black people are stuck in the 70s?
Actually I made it in the style of 1970s blaxpliotation movies
The original Aladdin (assuming any story can really claim to be the original) was a Chinese Muslim.
I got the impression it wasn’t clear if they were Chinese or further North West towards the -stans. But for sure Jasmine was a Chinese princess he brought back.
The stories say “a city in China,” but it might have been referring to a region near China. There are plenty of Chinese Muslims tho. The evil sorcerer claims to be his paternal uncle and he’s from Morocco or thereabouts, so Aladdin might have been an immigrant or half-Chinese.
Jasmine is actually a Disneyfication of the story. The Chinese Muslim princess was named “Badr Al-Badur” and she wore modest clothing and a face veil, but who in Hollywood wants to see that? Hence the revealing outfit.
I don’t recall them moving away from the Chinese city upon marriage, but it’s all fiction at the end of the day…
