Irony or social statement on Radio Rhubarb ?
Hello everyone,
I was recently listenning to Radio Rubarb (that I really like. If I could, I would stick to it all day long...). And I was quite surprised to hear Moira and Brent having a bias against Rachid, the copter pilot. They couldn't accept that Rachid was born and raised as an american, that is quite strange for american people whose country is entirely made of waves of immigrants !
In a previous segment, we learned that US airforce is afraid of any aircraft driven by an arab-named pilot, especially if the copter is hovering above the Pentagon. The story was quite ironic and funny.
But, what about Moira and Brent ?
I was wondering : do you think that the Gymglish authors are making fun of us, or do they realy think that Moira and Brent represent the average americans who now feel threatened by any arabic name ?
