The crap about being Arab, half Jewish made no sense... Not funny... Offensive

Have we lost context here? The jokes are satirizing the ignorance and bigotry that were so rampant in the west during the 1880's. The same way the entire film is satirizing just about every aspect of living in the west in the 1880's.

I believe the OP is trolling, but still I'm surprised it's taken so long on this thread for someone to spell this out as you have.

There's nothing offensive about being Arab.

Before they were turned, they were world leaders in math and astronomy, being Arab suggests high intellect.

I find it sad that we now live in a world, where someone feels everyone else should somehow care because they are offended. I miss the 90's.

The man that made this movie makes that show and he makes fun of everyone kind of like South Park does. Humor isn't for people that get easily offended. *Cough* *Cough* liberals
