What did you think of The Iron Sheik? You know, just to get an idea of "Real Arab vs Fake Arab" here.

In wrestling, especially the WWE, every race, gender and affiliation has been made to look their worst stereotypical self. If you don't have a problem with the way the WWE portrays, say, a black African with a slave master (Kamala) or, in a more current case, a Samoan with a slave master (Umaga), or even thieving thugs (Cryme Tyme), that's pretty hypocritical.

Am I saying that they're right in the way they do it? Fuck no. It's extremely offensive (of course, not to me), but just because they "single out" one group doesn't mean that next week you won't see a Chinese wrestler come out with a gong and buck-teeth.
