    Arabic People? The race the robot is designed to look like and is dressed as?

    Literally look at the other comments on this thread.

      I’ve read all of them, and didn’t see anything about race, unless you see Saudi Arabians as a race, specifically the people in power. There are many different Arab peoples with completely different looks and values to Saudi rulers. I see a lot of critical comments about a pervasive patriarchal culture that is consistently and unapologetically misogynistic, actively opposed to equal rights for women (and other marginalized groups), and I don’t see any problem with that kind of criticism in the same way I don’t when it comes up in reference to nations where there isn’t a dominant religious monoculture but still systemic repression of human rights. It’s dangerous to conflate criticism of sexism and theocratic repression with racism.
