    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.
