Is a Orson Welles racist then? is that film racist? is Othello racist, does it stereotype arabs or promote hate against arabs?
I will be honest I dont think it does any of those things, I dont think it is a stereotype as it is just an attempt to make a white actor look arabic, it doesnt really add on any negative tropes particularly.
I get that society was unconcerned about minorities feelings then but I dont see the portrayal itself as racist
