I mean really mate.

You mean there is nothing wrong with caricaturing an individual or a group/community of people based on stereotypical imagery?

I am sure if it wasnt stereotyping arabs but another community of people, lets say, Jews or Blacks, alarm bells would have been ringing, wouldnt it?

Wow and you are not even clear on which part of the whole phrase can be offensive.

Is the use of the word "Sheikh" offensive to UAE nationals?!
