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.

Really, it's true. Chicks are all fragile and can't fight, unless they are manly and ugly. Blacks are usually one of many stereotypes. Cryme Tyme's one example, but everyone loves Booker's ghetto act. Any foreigner gets heat if they are even remotely proud of their heritage. KAientai was racist. Even white people meet stereotypes.

He started off doing interviews that were totally nuteral and simply talking about the wrongs of how Arabs are treated, the FANS turned him into a heel. WWE gave the fans a chance to choose (something they rarely do) and low and behold the fans made the choice. As for him not not actually being Arab...who gives a fuck? Al Pacino is Italian and are you going to tell me he shouldn't have played a Cuban in Scarface?

This is this truth, though I suspect they intended him to be a heel anyway. I mean, the "Praise Allah" bit is clearly going to incite people. It's one of the truths of wrestling.

And I agree. "he's not even an Arab" is the shittiest argument you can make. Do you know how many Natives actually are played by natives in movies? No, we get the French, Phillipino, and Mexicans. FUCKING MEXICANS...STEALING THE JOBS OF HONEST INJUNS!

...Anyway, If you're a foreigner, and you talk about America, it'd better be in the following format. "Amelica is gleastest counlty evah!" Preeeeetty much everything else is guaranteed heel heat.
