[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8507905, member: 6778210"] I mean, I would like to think that someone pointing out things wrong with the art might be a good thing, so that it can be changed before it's in print. If it's being retooled, it sounds like that's good! I mean, it's half-there given that he does say that they are often bad stereotypes of it. It's part of the problem of having them and not having an Arab culture: you get the ridiculously stereotyped version. But again, I think OP was being fairly generous with the question and I think it's a good discussion to have. We should work through these feelings and ideas, because I think it helps us understand better. It's a power-differential. In America, where you are the dominant culture, it matters less of how you are portrayed. But if you are minority and you see your culture portrayed in a certain way, it can have a much larger effect. I mean, I think that's the point [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER] was trying to make earlier. For whatever reason Peacock Premium has infiltrated my YouTube recommendations and just giving me constant Columbo clips. Which isn't a bad thing because those are generally fun mysteries, but just reminded me of it because Peacock also recommends a bunch of Kolchak to me after I watch an episode. [/QUOTE]
