This ... need to stop stereotyping any ethnic group on television especially the Arabs; we need to start considering everyone, especially the group that is being stereotyped. If all filmmakers considered everyone’s feelings when making a new story line, then television wouldn’t have the ability to corrupt the minds of the thousands of viewers who watch it day in and day out.
