So I said the other day:
The Arab world proves that no matter how poor and downtrodden you are, some guy in a turban can make it worse.
My wife claimed that was terribly racist. I countered back that I heard Arab guys use that all the time to refer to their religious leaders. She said it was ok for them to say that, but not for me to say that. It was ok to say:
The Arab world proves that no matter how poor and downtrodden you are, some guy in a funny hat can make it worse.
Personally, I don't think it has the same punch.
But the article on Mahmood was still pretty funny, even if he did refer to one of their religious leader as “a turbanned guy”.
