True, it is a stereotype and in the age of people striving to be overtly politically correct, some people who have their sole business to be offended will be offended but you see, at the end of the day, stereotypes exist because to an extent, they are the things that are 'typical' of that section.<br />For example, if you have to, by means of plain drwaing, distinguish a male Arab from the other guys of the world, wouldn't you use a draw a man wearing the keffiyeh? It would be the most accurate though of course those who must take offense will (rightly) claim that not every male Arab wears a keffiyeh at all times etc etc. But isn't that a pointless argument?<br />I can go on about other examples but I gguess this isn't the place.<br />In any case, I think your design is VERY appropriate and you should go ahead and submit it. People who see your work can choose to be offended by it or not like it but you should stand by the bindi! It works!Priyankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06122051213478862607noreply@blogger.com
