Is it that hard to criticize Arab leaders for their politics without being racist about it?
How is the depiction racist? Th entire purpose is to represent a country/culture... If you think that basal appearances are being racist when it's literally a charicature, you're still too stuck in the land of Political Correctness. Stop being a PC thinker.
In fact, I think it's depicting specifically Saudi royalty, who often show up in public wearing traditional garb, exactly as depicted. So... the comic being accurate makes you call it ... racist? Learn some damn media literacy before it's too late...
Apparently it is quite hard, the weird thing is I swear it is super easy to do, I just stood in my bathroom and criticized an Arab leader, and then an Israeli leader and in neither case did I resort to racism.
Is it just the fact that I have a massive brain that makes me able to do this?
