4. I brought up how '24' perpetuates the Muslim-Bad Guy myth, and was told by DUers to "get over it" |
|
Just about anytime you see Arabs or Muslims portrayed in Hollywood, they're either inept or bad guys, like the video says. Yet when I brought up this point awhile back, many DUers told me to just enjoy it for what it was, that it was "just entertainment", yadda yadda yadda.

6. When I saw "Alladin" as a child, the caricature didn't occur to me at all. |
