Russia is historically a European state, this explains why Russia is always discussed as European (historically, politically, culturally, economically, socially, etc.) except when talking about geography, in which case it is called "Eurasian" because it spans two continents.

My problem with Belle being a better tracker than Mulan is that it is shown as if she is a better tracker because she reads the language better; which means she reads Chinese better than a Chinese warrior woman.

Please, let's not talk about race issues on OUaT, they are many and cannot be ignored in a "shrug it off because this is not our world and race doesn't work the same way" fashion. If you don't see how this casting call, or the "far away kingdom" with people wearing rice-hats in the background, could be seen as offensive or racist, then I'm very sorry for you.

Block me or erase my comment, I don't care, I can't believe what I read anyway. @Spy, I am the person who quoted you. I am well aware of the geographical location of Russia. As someone who is of Russian-decent, I found your original statement incredibly offensive and ignorant.

Where did you get that Belle reads "Chinese" better than Mulan? No where in The Outsider, did it suggest such a thing. Mulan was tracking the Yaoguai, the traditional way.... by following it. Plus, I seem to recall, Phillip retaining his mind while in that form. He was staying three steps ahead, of everyone who tried to kill him.
