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!

"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.

Ah, but then they complain because you never arab-american characters in your media, which is also racist.

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.
