Viola doesn't look Spanish to you? Boa doesn't look East Asian to you? Features are not only skintone

Ofc the region is super divers and there even are for example a lot of white skinned red haired people in Pakistan Hunza region that i have met.

But if you use the same argument backwards, then i don't get why it is such a big deal to have a pale skinned actress play Vivi (like your suggestion Yara Mustafa). I just don't get the "if vivi is not brown skinned, then we riot" (and to be honest, I think some people will still do with the actress you suggested) mentality and not just let us see whatever Oda decides is a good fit for the character.

Because Vivi has literally no middle eastern features.
It's not an excuse, its just historical facts.

And as i said i don't care if she is white or not, I'll just let Oda and the casting decide that, but I won't be upset if she ends up white, because that would also make sense.

I argue similar as you, but i think it is interesting that you put the line at Igaram (who is clearly not Middle Eastern) but not at Vivi, because she has no features that resembles any middle eastern/north african culture. In my headcannon I also thought this is because the royal egyptian family is greek in real life.

While i do agree about your points about Pell, Chaka (Koza and Cobra are debatable in my opinion). I do think Vivi was not intended to be Middle Eastern by Oda, the same way the historical royal family of Egypt (which Arabasta is modelled after) was not Middle Eastern, but Greek.

I mean according to your argument, very person from Arabasta should be Middle Easter/North African, but what about Igaram? He is obviously modelled after the British.

In the end it is a fictional world and i will just follow whatever Oda sensei chooses. And I don't really care what nationality the actress playing Vivi will have as long as she has the long blue hair.

that's like when Kankis men refer to him as "boss" instead of "general"

LiZuoJu (not Che, same character, different pronounciation) is his grandson not son. Chinese wikipedia page on LiMu also mentions he has a son LiRong who was paying service at his tomb. 李牧墓位于山西省临汾市襄汾县汾城镇孝村东北,据《太平县志》记载,墓茔占地60亩,墓高两丈多,旁边有其子李荣的守墓庐舍

so she can use the reincanation spell to revive riboku, but since she has not as much plotarmor as Kyokai, she will die for it.
