Hello,

This is Ryan Phillip Thomas. To explain confusion, I'm 100% Lebanese.

My father and mother are both Lebanese and yes I was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Moved to NYC, then to California.

Don't ask how I randomly found this site but I thought it would be interesting to comment.

PC-

Good point about me judging by name. I thought Thomas was a waspy name, I do not know any Lebanese Christians with that name, but I will defer to your superior intel on that.

Either way, he is from Cleveland, OH where there are many angry Palestinians for him to learn from and emulate. I am sure he will play his role with conviction and accuracy.

I wouldnt be too worried about his next flop, people are already saying it looks like a waste of time.

And lets be real now, this whole thing about Mossad being strong and shit, adam sandler can kiss my ass, if you put a Mossad and a Hezbollah in a room I can assure you the Hezbollah militant will snap ya legs off and withstand your bullets.

Are there a significant number of Arab actors out there (with talent) who are only offered terrorist roles? Would those same actors be offered other roles were it not for their Arab heritage?

PS-Isn’t kind of weird for an “Arab” named William to be judging people’s ethnicity by their name, dude?

What makes you think Ryan Phillip Thomas is a WASP, Will? I’m a WASP, and I gotta say he looks pretty much… not. What are you basing that on? His name? Thomas is not an Anglo-Saxon name. In fact, most of the people named “Thomas” that I know of, are Lebanese Christians.

Answering anonymous prayers (12:01):

During the Roman period, the natives were defeated Canaanites, Hebrews, Arabic Nabateans, Jebusites and various unaffiliated tribes — the people whose descendants today include Palestinians, other Arabs and Israelis.

Arabs are under-represented as members of society. It would be a step forward if any Arabs were cast to play anything other than terrorists.

It is not wrong for non-arabs to play arab characters, it is wrong for there to be a heavily anti-arab bias in films considering how limited a view it offers society. Many races had to deal with type of bigotry, try watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Look at how Japanese Americans were represented, by todays standards its morally reprehensible.

Palestina was occupied by Romans? Who were the natives then, pray tell.

Will’s amorous relationship with the word ‘occupation’ nonwithstanding, is it so wrong for an Arab to be played by a non-arab? If an Arab was playing an Italian in a movie, wouldn’t that be kinda cool? Wouldn’t that be touted on this blog as a step forward?
