Reel Bad Arabs was an eye-opening doc. I never even thought twice about that scene before they rubbed my nose in it.

I used to have a joke about how Hollywood had Italians playing Indians (Natives) and later Indians (from India) playing Arabs. The solution? We all just keep shifting over one seat westward. The Natives get to play the actual Indians from India, the Arabs get to play Italians and Romans, everyone has a part.
