Some of the comments in this read are really sad. How is anything supposed to change if people like this actress don't complain about it? It IS a problem because it's reinforcing negative stereotypes. It also lays a blanket stereotype on all people who "look" Arab when most of them have nothing to do with terrorism.

The whole "Its a business" argument is the same bull that game companies shove down our throats to convince us that they can only make COD clones. Hollywood doesn't have to slavishly commit to trying to cater to what they think the public wants. This risk averse mentality is why we get mostly derivative tripe from hollywood and the game industry these days.
