    It's perpetuating a negative stereotype that will then be used to typecast the 99.999% of the remainder of the group, which is nothing like this, that's why. The deafening silence bit is simply not true, as you probably know. Let me guess, you are Jewish?

    Yes, Jerry, but you are not typecasting, or are you going to tell me that there is a reason for stereotypes?

    Well, no matter what those of you on here think, the site has managed to sell out and cease orders till they can catch up with the backlog.

    All of his stuff is on back order, the lego bond and space marine are bad a$$.

    How did posting of a GD toy become a ethnic debate? They are all the same yellow skin, so there is no ethnic point to this. Besides nowhere does it say terrorist, it says bandit, so you are bringing your own negative stereotype and applying it to the TOY. I think he looks like an Afghani Freedom Fighter from the early '90's, now it is a positive stereotype.

    You tell me...as a Jew you should know a thing or two about stereotypes. And what can happen when people get carried away with them.

    I just looked at the contact info for the website, the guy that makes these lives near me...sweet....I hope I get to shake his hand some day, these are awesome.

    Can I assume then, that all of you that are whining about the "lack of sensitivity" regarding the ethnicity of these toys didn't have GI Joes? Probably not, I guess you were too busy playing with your sister and her Barbies :)

    Jerry- Why not sign up to access the Politics and Religion and other subscribed sections? We can carry on there, and you could contribute? (And, to answer your question, yes- brings to mind the Palestinian children's TV program, with the rip-off Disney characters, teaching hate).

    This quote gets the "Hypocrite of the year award."


    ... "the Lego is perpetuating a stereotype."



    Then offers his own type cast (...."are you Jewish")

    No wonder there are so many wars going on, people start argueing about the smallest things.
