Because there is not enough actual MENA and specially middle eastern actors in hollywood and then add woke people , just look at that meme you posted clearly most mena do not have coloring of darker side of scheme(most middle easterns would have skin color of middle and many pale ones but this scheme jumps from pale to dark very fast) but most people assume middle easterners are colored like this specially wokesters who whined half british half indian actress being too white skinned when she is average lol, Nasim Pedrad was probably only middle eastern in that movie and she is pale

while people like Rami Malik have blue eyes so he will play white people in the movies despite having average skin tone to middle east, to be middle eastern to wokesters you need to look like South asian, they are most often chosen for these roles , also i remember some latino wokester whined how some movie only casted white people in historical movie about invetors of atomic bomb and rami malek is part of that movie , you see same thing with bashar assad he has blue eyes but his skin is average , while his wife asma does not have blue eyes but she is pretty and does not have nose of the mountain , so some wanna claim her also european looking , light skin arab lol

but this one is pure comedy , half palestinian half Polish and has skin tone for that darker scheme starter, basically maybe you find some dark palestinians(obviously there also black Palestinians but they dont mean them) with that color but half Polish lmfao
plays afghan , south african of indian origin, but something you will never ever see in hollywood is east asian looking afghans they are totally off the chart for stereotypes

hazara refugees, in the movies they should play important role for being tied to americans but i am sure their casting would even more hilarious
Also somone posted thread some days ago how middle easterners were palyed white actors but after 9/11 it was mostly south asian actors and now you have woke movement that wants put all non euros into same category , i mean they try make Fidel Castro into man of color because all latin americans are mestizos(when place has mexicans) or triracials(when place has Puerto rican, Dominicans ) in their eyes , when Cuba is one whitest countries in latin america specially pre revolution races were very separated, looks like average Spaniard
or latest war propaganda how they posted Ahed Tamimi a Palestinian because she had blonde hair and blue eyes as ukranian child fighting with Russian soldiers lol
Basically to look stereotypical middle eastern you need to look like gulf arab, or Bin Laden/ Saddam hussein , to some to look original arabian you need to look like sultan qaboos(lets ignore him having african ancestry) , saudi royals married too much with levantines and lightened their skin lol or they are undercover jews , south asian is most stereotypical you can look or being half black with big hooked nose
qaboos the real arabian look, king abdullah of saudi arabia fake(i think he was somehwat lighter than average tribal saudi while mbs has very average skin tone ) , and previous president iran has nose of moutain, so he looks typical light skin middle eastern /S

Probably skin color wise mixed race latinos are best , many arabs would mistaken in usa for latinos , latinos in europe would mistaken for arabs because of skin color, but faces are different most of the times , f.e many mexican women have super round face due native american ancestry , have wide nose due native american ancestry etc , basically this saudi princess is typical look for many mixed race latina women and she herself is mixed race origin , her father is half black
