jokes about Arabs? Found offensive
The crap about being Arab, half Jewish made no sense... Not funny... Offensive
shareThe crap about being Arab, half Jewish made no sense... Not funny... Offensive
shareyeah looks like you didn't get the joke... the first part about being arab wasn't about making fun of arab, it was just a distraction so the poison can do its work, arab was mentioned because it's 'foreign and exotic' and least likely to be questioned by white frontiersman about whether the ritual was real. the second part of the joke was the silly notion that people inherently can't get along based solely on their religious denominations with a little jab about modern jew/arab conflicts, nothing was particularly insulting toward arab or muslim.
shareThank you.
I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe
the second part of the joke was the silly notion that people inherently can't get along based solely on their religious denominations with a little jab about modern jew/arab conflicts, nothing was particularly insulting toward arab or muslim.It's possible you're reading too much into it. I think it was simply a jab at the attitudes of the time, such jokes were liberally peppered throughout the movie.
I don't think you understand the concept of how jokes work.
Also "it's offensive" is not a reasonable argument for anything. It's just a whine.
You know what I find offensive?
Knob-ends on the internet who want to act all "White Knight" by claiming a racially-oriented joke offended them.
Next you'll be telling me that you, as a man, totally agree with "equality" of women and that we should all become feminists.
Take your "offended"ness with you to your next PC gathering, it's not welcome here.
Also, for the record, I found the joke hilarious, because it pokes fun of the fact that a LOT of people would actually think twice if their partner "came out" as Muslim or Jewish to them. It's also funny because I knew it would offend little whiners like yourself, and the fact that a tiny one-liner in a movie gets people like you SO riled up just makes the joke that much funnier.

PC gathering?
What's that?
And who is offended on behalf of all whites, since the Native Americans said white people are a-holes? That's just as offensive if you think about it, without being a hypocritical scumbag like the guy posting this thread. Yeah, joke about the crackers, the porch monkeys, the red skins, but as soon as politically relevant jews or arabs are put into the mix, that's when it suddenly becomes offensive! You know what? Eff you. Would write the whole word, but IMDB bleeps it.
shareI'm just stunned that you went into a Seth MacFarlane comedy and you weren't expecting offensive jokes. Where you have been for the last fifteen years?
shareMost of the 'white' people in this film were either horrible, criminals or stupid.
I was not offended.
