Hatred, Bigotry?

It's ONE person, ONE Arab-American, The Character isn't modelled to be like every other Arab-American. On the other side, say a White Man is on tv and does something stupid, I wouldn't be insulted and complain about how "The Writers of this show hate White People! That isn't how I act!".

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?

If you want to read this article it's on the website of the Free Press also. I live in Lansing, MI where we get the Freep & News in addition to the Lansing State Journal which is our hometown paper. But the link to the article is http://www.freep.com/entertainment/tvandradio/wrestle26e_20050726.htm. In case you wanted to just make sure noone made up the article or something...I went down to the store Tuesday Evening originally for an LSJ but when I saw they only had one DFP left and it had the Hassan article I had to get it. Just wonder what Khosrow Daivari's real name is if that is not his real name...

"The writers did a fairly good job of giving background and context to the character," said Gary Davis, a spokesman for WWE. "They were trying to get across a very serious issue that Arab Americans face."
Yeh, every arab american hates it when the Undertaker knocks out their mate and his other friends (dressed entirely in robes, mind you) have come and take him to the hospital on their shoulders. It's so gritty and true it's almost like reality

I don't think that's what they were talking about.
