The male lead of "Aladdin" mocked "The Little Mermaid" and was accused of racism

Recently, foreign media predicted that the live-action movie "The Little Mermaid" will have a North American box office of $115 million in its first weekend, and compared it to the live-action movie "Aladdin" which had a box office of $112 million in its first weekend. "Aladdin" actor Mena Massoud responded to this, but was accused of racism.

At that time, Mena Massoud replied: "Our "Aladdin" movie is unique and attracts audiences to watch it again and again. This has enabled us to achieve excellent opening results and make the global box office exceed 1 billion US dollars. I guess "The Little Mermaid" will not break the 1 billion box office, but there will definitely be a sequel!"

Many people accused him of discriminating against black women. A tweet he made in 2022 was also dug up. In response to a tweet about "the film industry doesn't care about black people at all, and brown people are even less important", Mena said that black people are the most represented minority group in Hollywood, followed by Asians, Latinos, Indians, and finally North Africans. Netizens called this tweet very "anti-black".

Currently, Mena has closed his Twitter account. What do you think about this?
