Amazing. There was a commercial for California raisins which had a bunch of raisins with little feet, hands and faces, as well as some bling, belting out Marvin Gay’s Heard it Through the Grapevine with instrumentals and synchronized dancing. It really was a racist Muslim stereotype? Wow.

Well, assuming the producer of the commercial back at that time new this. I remember the commercial. Sort of cute! (I assume they had to get permission to use the song and maybe characters?)
