Been watching this thread with interest. South Asians thinking it’s a compliment to be mistaken for Arab (Mediterranean/ Turkish/Middle Eastern/Persian/mixed race- delete as appropriate) goes so far back that we would be here for ages, needless to say it encompasses colourism, class, colonialism with a fair amount of internalised racism thrown in for good measure.
Considering Arabs have built most of their insta friendly holiday destinations on the back of modern slavery and treat their south asian/ asian workers like shit, they can get to the far side of fuck being offended about a south asian pretending to be Arab to cash in on its very profitable and worst kept sex industry secret.
As for Murad, Wtaf?! not kink shaming him or his customers, clearly there is a market for race play but to do that as your job and then also comment on race on reality tv shows the level dissonance he has/had. No disclosure, no “look as someone who is a sex worker with clients who have a particular fetish here’s my take” none of that. Almost like he completely compartmentalised the two jobs. Bizarre.
Black women owe no one an explanation or anything close to one on this. The only person who knows why Murad did what he did, truly knows I mean, is Murad himself.
