Wow. I now suspect that the Woodrow Wilson High School production of "Birth of a Nation" will get cancelled also.
Seriously, These plays also give a "false" impression of the culture they are set in:
Fiddler on the Roof
Any American Western
Oklahoma
Mary Poppins
Les Miserables
Zorro
Mulan

For anyone who's not aware, Aladdin is a tale from One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of Arabian folk tales, meaning they were written in Arabic, in the Middle East, by an Arabian!
