This is painfully stupid. Ignoring Africa does have a sizable white population (about the same as the US black population hovering around 10%-13% [which btw means of you think its white washing to cast whites in an african based film then by the same logic you must also think its black washing to cast blacks in an american film otherwise your thoughts have no consistency) and ignoring that they cast Americans and not Africans we are talking about cartoon lions.

You cant "white wash" are cartoon lion. It doesnt have an ethnicity other than lion. If anything given that the original source material was white in making it "African" youve culture washed the material since this is a white story made by white people.

This was a disney origional story with pre-existing no cultural folkore backgrounds. An origional work can not be "white washed."

The notion that white people cant make stories set in certain countries is outlandish and its twice as stupid when its talking animals that we're talking about.
