"The Coke commercial for the Super Ball is racist, portraying Arabs as backward and foolish Camel Jockeys, and they have no chance to win in the world,"

Boo hoo. Cry me a river.

Arab Diversity

[Fiji Hill]

Let me tell you 'bout Ahab The Arab,
The Sheik of the burning sand.
He had emeralds and rubies just a-dripping off of him
And a ring on every finger of his hands.
He wore a big ol' turban wrapped around his head
And a scimitar by his side.
And every evenin' about midnight,
He'd jump on his camel named Clyde..

oil-rich sheiks, terrorists, or belly dancers?”

They left out sexual deviants who engage in sex with little boys for fun.

But so far the shoe fits.....

Me?? I am just tired of Arab-Americans, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, When they come here they should be Americans, or go the Fudge back to wherever they came from.

"Why is it that Arabs are always shown as either oil-rich sheiks, terrorists, or belly dancers?"

Yeah; the rest of them are running 7-11's, or Convienience Stores.......

For many years the only cola brand available in the Arab countries was Pepsi (pronounced "beepsee" in Arabic). Coke had a bottling plant in Israel, hence the long boycott. And one might suppose certain elements in those populations saw Coke's global popularity as a sign of one more Zionist plot.

The official Arab League boycott of Coke was lifted around 1991 (might have had something to do with a half million US troops on the ground saving the Saudi's - ahem! - bacon) and Atlanta's own is now available in those countries (pronounced "koo-ka-koolah"). But maybe excluding the Dromedary Driver in the commercial from having any chance to win the contest is just a little bit of payback.

No shiite Sherlock. Name the advances that have come from the Muslim world over the last 1,000 years. Waiting.........

I believe it has everything to do with the Vegas showgirls. That guy that was on O’Reillys show last night would not come out and say it but knowing a thing or two about islam, I bet that is the problem. Could be wrong of course!
