Overdeveloped answer but:

spoiler___ I wouldn’t overly police yourself on what jokes you’re allowed and not allowed to make. I’m sure if you asked 100 different Arabs/Muslims, many would say they love it and please continue, many would say they don’t care particularly, and a small number would very vocally chastise you for it. At risk of sounding like a conservative Youtube demagogue, certain types of people these days are hypersensitive to things that simply do not matter. You’re not using them racistly, so who cares? I for one am happy to see Arab/Muslim culture being used in a way that makes it cool and normalizes it. Culture is meant to be shared. The only thing that matters is if you support or hurt the cultures in question, and I sincerely doubt you support the Western destruction of the Middle East. If you saw one Black influencer on TikTok saying “white people should NEVER listen to hip hop music EVER,” would you let them speak for their entire race? Should white people stop eating at Mexican or Indian restaurants? No, this is ridiculous, again, culture is meant to be shared and celebrated, it is humanizing and one of the joys of human cooperation and coexistence, its only when the plastic classes of white people steal and then spit on the people they steal from that it has become an issue. You as an individual are not one of those people. And I certainly don’t speak for all Arabs/Muslims either, nobody does. I’m sure someone somewhere will wrinkle their nose. But, IMO, you’re not being malicious, you’re not. Who cares? Don’t let capitalism twist progressivism and globalism into corporate Wokeism where the natural conclusions of its logic are us asking things like, “is it emotional abuse to tell a Black person I like their haircut,” or, “is it cultural appropriation to learn Chinese”–it was designed to take a good thing, the human desire of us to learn about and love the myriad of cultures around us, and twist it into immobilizing hesitance, fear, and division. DON’T LET IT. POST BIG MASHALLAH EMOJI.

MASHALLAH 💜💜💜

When the US, shall we say “encourages” other countries to “cooperate” on an “international project,” it is uses threats, sanctions, coups, corruption, and outright deadly force. Even its wicked henchmen in the EU didn’t have the stomach for the war in Ukraine, several countries dragged their feet chipping in arms knowing full well it was they who would suffer the most for the US’s choices. US has to twist their arms and pull a “We’re done, when I say we’re done” to get their “allies” to back yet another project of death, destruction, and looting.

What has China done in the South China Sea? Menacingly sailed their own ships in their own front yard? Why is this so “menacing”? Oh yeah, because the US has completely encircled them with military bases, and is trying to paint a picture that makes aggressive military action against China somehow look defensive. If you knew anything about China that wasn’t from the mouth of the biggest liar in world history, you would know China has wanted nothing but to resume diplomatic and peaceful integration of Taiwan, something that was popular and ongoing before most of us were in diapers. US, playing from their usual playbook, pours money and weapons into divide-and-conquer using disinformation and fascist empowerment.

Learn more about geopolitics outside of the US’s distorted bubble, you will find that US starts and fuels fires, and China out of all others is the one that puts them out, hence they have earned seething hatred from the biggest snake, bully, and bandit in human history.

I guess a better question would be “how many civilians has China killed in warfare compared to the US since the 1940s”

We would be talking tens of thousands versus tens of millions

I keep bringing up how much I deeply hate ads and the people I’ve talked to about it have been weirdly apathetic. I don’t know how they feel, but to me the omnipresent ads does more psychological damage to me than any other capitalist schemes to melt my brain.
