Actually I find it extremely racist and offensive.

Actually I find it extremely racist and offensive. That's the idea. It's one of the aspects of satire. And if they were serious, then they only make idiots out of themselves. |

Sometimes its hard to tell with these things, there are an incredible number of anti-arab things out on the internet, a disturbing number of them aren't satire.

How is that racist? It never mentions any identifying traits of the people next to him other than they're smelly. And I know lots of smelly white Americans.
...Not sure why, though- come to think of it.

"turbans they're packin'."
Referring to turbans in a negative connotaition is considered racist.

So? "terrorists" doesn't necissarily equate with any racial group, Ai. Unless you're a dumbass, maybe. But I'd like to think the good people of the MSPB are above that kind of thing. But back to my point- there are terrorists everywhere. All through South America, and India, and Africa, and well, everywhere. Wherever there's someone looking to get what they want, but have no way to pull it off, but by attacking soft targets.
But I see your point.

In current day America, when the every day person hears "terrorist", they think Arab. Yes, I know, because they're racist idiots who don't know better, but it's still an identifying trait.

Great to see Frank's music bastardized by racists.  |
