Let's dispel Muslim stereotypes with the "Riz test"

Muslim actors are sick of playing "terrorists" — and a test named after actor Riz Ahmed is a clever way to dispel these harmful labels. đŸ‘ŠđŸœ

    I'm just going to say it any religion is indefensible. Judaism, Christianity, Islam are all retarded. Jews believe God parted the red sea (or the reed sea?), Christians believe a Jewish itinerant rabbi preacher ascended to heaven, and muslims believe that a illiterate warlord pedophile ascended to heaven on a winged horse. They are all equal of ridicule.

    This is manufactured crap...100% of Middle-Eastern Terrorists ARE Middle-Eastern, ergo cast a Middle-Eastern person to play the role - OR go protest Hollywood for discrimination and misrepresentation in the cultural misappropriation of Middle-Eastern values.

    So.. when the movie director and the plot needs a middle eastern looking guy to play what the world calls a terrorist.. from the middle east.. i should take the role instead? Beeing freakin viking white? If you dont want a role. Dont take it. If it kills your dream of beeing an actor. Atleast you cant complain bout beeing portraited in a bad way.

    Art imitates life. If there were'nt so many Muslim terrorists then you would not have a big a need for Muslims to play terrorists.

    This video is literally making fun of what they’re saying. 😕 And as a Muslim, i’ve been discussing it with people around me that yes, a lot of middle eastern folks, especially Muslims, are portrayed as villains in movies or shows. Venom is a very recent example.

    I'm Hispanic so I'm used to having my ethnic group get portrayed negatively in movies and other media. If you don't want those roles, they'll just get us to play them for you instead. You won't change Hollywood by crying about it. All they care about is money, that's what will influence any kind of change
