| Disney admits that white extras were ''browned up'' with makeup to ''blend'' into crowd scenes for the live-action ''Aladdin.'' Despite filming next to a 1 million-strong ethnic community outside London, white actors were brought in to fill in background roles. Actor Kal Penn: ''I love @Disney so much. But when a PR person says they decided to put 100 people in Brownface in 2018 because not enough of us are qualified, that’s bs, someone just didn’t want to spend the $ to do it right. Let’s all expect more & do better this year.'' |
