What happened to Common Sense?
It went out the window in the "New Age."

Nowadays, all minority characters must be strong, confident, and likable.

Unless they're niggers, in which case they must be minstrel show stereotypes.

Seriously, and how many people did they talk to anyway? They probably grabbed the most reactionary people they could find, and ran with it. Hassan is bad for reflecting Arabs in general, yet they get a handful of Arabs to speak for Arabs in general? Seriously, that's some fucked up shit there.

Why the assumption that Hassan speaks for all Arabs? Why assume that anyone can? Why complain about a stereotype in a business of Stereotypes? Should white folks be offended by Jamie Knoble because he portrays all white folks as trailer trash?
