    If the person holding Trump was a caricature of an Israeli many would have lost their minds and called it antisemitic. But when it is an Arab no one cares about antisemitism anymore.

      The AI image looks a bit less racist. Original author made the Arab head completely flat to insinuate they have no brains.

        Just wrong. Especially considering the context in which the “dumb arab” is using Trump to “open up America”.

          It’s not that he’s being depicted as dumb, it’s that he’s being depicted as sneaky and scheming

          So Orientalism.

          Agreed that the AI one has a less phrenological depiction of the Arab

            I agree he’s not being depicted as dumb. The person I replied to said, “Original author made the Arab head completely flat to insinuate they have no brains.” That’s why I quoted, “dumb arab”.

            They are just wrong.
