The thing is- nobody said that Asian people are the only potentially pale POC. The thing is: Asian people are vastly underrepresented in Hollywood movies and casting an Asian woman for the role would have been something new at least. And casting a pale Asian woman would have fit the description as well.

AYRT
As an Asian American woman who loved all the Disney princesses growing up (and Cinderella remains my favorite princess), I feel like had the casting gone to an Asian actor, I would still come out of it feeling icky, but in slightly different ways.
I understand the argument that Asians are underrepresented in Hollywood, but I know that's also very true for Hispanic/Latino representation. And IMO if I were to be upset and make a declaration about it because I feel Asian representation would have been more ideal, it plays into tribalism and can encourage those who want to denigrate on POC to happily do so but disguise it as "I'm just saying, Asian representation matters too!"
Like, IMHO if you are to tell me to pick: "I wanted Asian representation" or "Congratulations on Hispanic representation"
I will always pick the latter.
