The obsession with appropriating elements from Arab and South Asian cultures, especially when one does not belong to said cultures, and using them for aesthetics.
Inspired by the 1992 Disney film Aladdin in which non Arab and non South Asian viewers are left confused about where Aladdin is actually set because white people think all brown people are the same ethnic breed and have no purpose of existence outside of fulfilling their exotic fantasies.
This fetishisation, however, is not exclusive to white people and many other PoC have fallen into it, namely East Asians.
The end result of however these cultures are abused is so bizarre and confusing it can only be described as bastardisation. What was meant to look exotic and spicy (whatever the hell that means) is now a hot mess of genie lamps and bindis.
Not the ideal melting pot.
“Did you see Blackpink’s new comeback teasers?”
“The one where they’re wearing maatha pattis and doing namaste hands?”
“Yeah what the hell was that?”
“Nasty shit, they have a bad case of the Aladdin Complex.”

A complex pertaining to short men who feel the need to fight anyone who challenges them, or their manliness, in even the slightest manner.
"Remember that night we were playing beer pong and I annihilated that really short, stocky frat boy and freaked out and tried to beat the shit out of me? I knocked him out with one punch and he hit the floor. He had a real Danziganic Complex."

A term based in prejudice and discrimination, that has been proven by science and psychology to be a myth and a stereotype as tall men are as likely to exhibit many, if not all, of the same traits. The name is also a misnomer because Napoleon was actually of average to above average height for his time.
People that use the term Napoleon Complex suffer from heightism.
