i mean the cartoon was based on india to an extent, the castle was inspired by the taj mahal in india

Nah rfx45 , Aladdin is rooted deeply in Arabic and Islamic lore/culture. Genie's a loose interpretation of a 'Djinn/Jinn'. Taj Mahal although being in India was constructed by Shah Jahan, one of the Muslim rulers of India during the 16th century. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the OG Aladdin's setting was present day Iraq.

I have read that the Aladdin story is either European or Chinese.

I think you are mistaken. In the original Aladdin story, Aladdin is a Chinese boy, but the story itself is middle eastern.

Non middle eastern folks don't care about this. In fact, with Brown people taking the headliner roles, the South Asian community must be rejoicing.

Too bad for the Middle Eastern folks not getting the headliner roles here.

Actor who plays aladdin is Egyptian.
