So, because they are not white, they can be related, whatever are their ethnic groups? Jesus. Let's hope A&E won't fall in that trap. They've already fallen into a similar trap, by casting a Korean-American actress to play a Chinese character.

They did not went that far in their thoughts, I think. Mulan is Asian so they cast an Asian actress.

Latina and Polynesian are not a part of a same bigger ethnic group. They are not the same. Would be the same if they cast white actors as parents of their Rapunzel.
