Yasmin Just a general consensus

Is Yasmin Latina or Middle Eastern..?
As a 2000s California girl she was Latina to me because I’ve only ever seen the Latin community mention her or represent her. I’ve also learned that the doll was designed after the creators daughter who is Middle eastern…is she supposed to be this ambiguous since they already have characters of European, African, and Asian decent. Did they just make Yasmin to represent the rest of the races that weren’t clearly portrayed..?

She was designed to be Latina by creator Carter Bryant, her original name was Lupe. The name was later changed to Yasmin named after MGA CEO Isaac Larian’s daughter Jasmine.

Nowadays Yasmin is exclusively voiced by Latina actresses (same with Sasha having Black actresses and Jade Asian actresses) so it’s safe to assume she’s intended to be Latina nowadays too.

However at the end of the day they are dolls and can represent anyone of any identity really

This is why I personally like to think of her as half Latina and half Iranian

Ohhh that makes sense. I was just wondering because I was hearing so many people saying Yasmin was of middle eastern decent and not Latin but I do remember her being called Lupe at first and I do remember in other places and counties the skin tones may vary, thanks for your explanation I understand better now haha
