I respect the arab americans about what are they doing, but is it time to make comedy about

arab presidents/leaders/kings/broth­ers of a revolution...etc... and the conditions back in the arab world (ME + NA)

this: I can't fly anywhere cuz I am an arab is getting a bit....old....

@ramzi45 Maybe u didnt notice but this video was made in 2008

I don't think that we Arabs have to apologize and excuse and explain our every motive to you nor the world. We have come to your country as doctors, lawyers, scholars, students, mothers, fathers and have been forced to embrace the image you cut out for us for the past 8 years. Now go and attend another stand up comedy and don't get involved in serious conversations. It's not for you.

How come Arab-Americans seem to only come in the white variety? Seems like a conspiracy to me.

@hanksnow82 oh i'm sorry, are you playing the victim now? Hey look! The guy who hates sympathy acts is playing the victim! Priceless.

[lucierohan]

@hanksnow82 I'm not even a big fan of hers honestly. Her one woman show looked cool, her other stuff is average. I just really hate people like you, so I'm going to keep attacking you with crude words. By the way, if you were a super hero, your name would be Cuntio, and your superpower would be your impenetrable cuntishness.

[hanksnow82]

@lucierohan Are all of you Monsoon fans biggots and racist?

[lucierohan]

@hanksnow82 I've always been pretty cool with faggots, but IF THIS faggot is the kind of faggot that other faggots have their faggot lunch parties with, well then....
