< Against Arabs >Because...I have no fucking idea. Apparently they didn't give them a chance to win the race, so that makes them racist. If I was Coke, I'd fix it by removing the camels and arabs from the commercial completely. All fixed! Posted by TheCatt on Jan. 31 2013,13:07
QUOTE "Why is it that Arabs are always shown as either oil-rich sheiks, terrorists, or belly dancers?" said Warren David, president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or ADC. He said, complaining about an ad that did none of those things. Posted by TPRJones on Jan. 31 2013,13:39

Fuck it then, we'll just make everything as stereotyped as possible, and randomize it. You could have an Italian pulling a rickshaw and a Chinese dude riding the camel. Everything can be like that Starburst commercial with the Scottish Koreans.
