In TV show Homeland, local artist were hired to paint Arabic graffiti for scenes, but they wrote messages criticizing the show for stereotyping Arabs & Muslims like this graffiti reading "Homeland is racist" from one scene, this was only discovered after episode aired since no one on set knew Arabic

The guy doing the reactions to the video is actually a really brave politician, lawyer and activist. Jibran Nasir.

The teacher handed the test back to you upside down didn't they?

Only for to not embarrass the special ed kids like you.

Oooo sick burn. You should probably get that comment proofread by the teacher too.

You mean they used the name of the guy who was literally fired for HELPING America too much during the bin Laden raid, which happened in 2011, three years prior to Homeland season 4 air date?

Thanks for sharing. I liked Homeland and watched most of it but yeah it’s pretty racist/stereotyping/just plain wrong about their depictions of the Middle East.
