Arabs played by whites with makeup and Latinos?
true, but it is not same as “blackface”. With “blackface”, the intent was comedy via making fun of the the African American face. If I am not mistaken, while the Arabs were played by whites in makeup, the intend was to play them seriously and realistically, and not to make fun of the Arabs.
I don’t disagree. That’s why I put a question mark. Just answering why some might worry that it could cause offense.
And I just wanted to post because it is my pleasure.
