There has been a lot of controversy swirling around Disney's remake of Aladdin. While the studio had done a decent job of casting actors of color in the lead roles, there was an apparent concern that there weren't any white people in the film, even though it's based on an animated film that had none.

Add this to the outrage that a Puerto Rican would dare appear in a Mary Poppins movie, Disney needed to do something to make sure their white audiences felt included and not white board erased (#whiteboarderased).

So today, news broke of the Aladdin casting of Billy Magnussen as a new character, Prince Anders.
