Politically Incorrect Villain | |
Amreeka / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: Muna and Fadi have to deal with a white high school student that refers to Fadi and his extended family as "terrorists," simply because they are Arab. Things come to a head when the Bully goes to Muna's workplace, and after making fun of them, she chases him and his friends away, which causes her to slip and fall while they walk away laughing. Later, when Fadi goes to confront the bully, they tussle on the ground with the bully yelling out: "terrorist!" Which causes the police to arrest Fadi, and hold him for questioning. It's only with the intervention of the Jewish high school principal that Fadi is let go with a warning, and the police stop any investigation for a possible terrorist connection. | |

Amreeka / int_8be2ef8d | comment |
Grammar Correction Gag: Fadi, a recent immigrant from the Middle East, leaves school with his cousin and finds out that someone has graffitied their car with "Al-Kada". One of them points out they didn't even spell it right. | |

All Muslims Are Arab | |
Amreeka / int_f1a14f34 | comment |
All Muslims Are Arab: Inverted. It is assumed that Fadi and Muna are Muslim because they are Arab (specifically Palestinian). Muna has to clarify that they are Palestinian Christians, which is a Commonality Connection with Mr. Novatski, who is also from a religious minority (Jewish-American). | |
