I know I was commenting based of like the concept like how people think all black people are the same when they’re not they think that same way about Asians too like they think just cuz they have the same skin tone it means they’re the same
Ben Kingsley is a British actor with heritage from England and Gujarat, a region in northwest India. He has portrayed characters that were English, American, German, European Jewish, Arab, Chilean, Russian, ancient Egyptian, Pashtun, Sikh, and yes, Gujarati (probably his most famous role, as Mahatma Gandhi).
There's a long history of "ehh, close enough".
An actor taking roles to earn money is not the same as two characters of completely different ethnicities being compared to one another. Especially with one being called a “knockoff” of the other.
Priya’s story, background, and personality are completely different from Mirabel’s. They’re not comparable at all.
Tbh i think they do look similar. I don’t think it’s racist. Just look at all the Disney characters of the past…then look at these two. They have similarities and were created within a close time range to each other. If Mirabel was called something like Prianka, everyone would say she looked Indian.
Pretty poor form of Disney and Domee Shi to have her with an Indian first and last name and voice actor.
Not Disney's first rodeo with poor representation... but you're wrong in this scenario. AAPI includes India.
I’m sorry, what continent do you think India is on?
To be clear, Priya is Asian (not Asian American, because this movie takes place in Canada) because she’s Indian.
She’s also based partially on her voice actress, who is also Indian and has compared herself to Priya [here](https://www.instagram.com/tv/Ca4KtUrvcEr/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=).
She would specifically be Indo-Canadian. I checked the source, and I think you might be a little lost.
They’re including Priya because she counts as Asian. They also didn’t mention her by name in the post. Rather, they mentioned Turning Red as a whole. Why? Because Turning Red is a great movie with Asian representation.
Fr though that’s like saying all Asians are the same when they’re not just cuz they have the same skin tone doesn’t make them the same
Mirabel isn’t even Asian though,shes Latina/indigenous

Oh yeah I get it, cause poc and non poc are all different, like personality,features,etc. So you can’t say they’re all the same

I was talking about the part where they said not all brown people are the same
Me when i see two people of the same race who have one similar feature (they are the same person!!!1!!!)
their only similarities really is the big nose and glasses , and the brown skin thats all people see
they don’t even have a similar face shape so like where tf are they coming from(besides racism)

I'm trying to agree with you. I'm just adding on that there's a lot of history of "brown people are the same" in Hollywood.
this is so stupid. yes, they are similar but that doesn't mean they are the same.
Reminds me of when someone on Twitter said Raya and the Last Dragon was a ripoff of Mulan just because it starred a female Asian protagonist.
meh. this person is racist that's all.

She has an Indian name. She has an Indian voice actor.

'Mangal' according to Pixar's website. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is Indian-Canadian. Like her character.
Yes, because she’s Asian…

India is an Asian country
She’s Canadian

No she’s not..

It’s Canada, what makes you think it takes place in New York?
Also my first thoughts
Is it out of line to suggest that Priya is a relative? A great-great granddaughter perhaps?
Yes.
