This rubs me the wrong way as well. I can understand the intent behind the ticket, but the whole thing seems racist and makes me rather uncomfortable.

  It's fine if it makes you uncomfortable. That's an opportunity to introspect and find out why exactly it makes you feel that way. It's a learning opportunity. It's also fine if it "seems racist" to you - another opportunity, to see if it actually is. In this case, it isn't; if anything, it's making a joke in the opposite direction, as other comments point out.

    What? It's not a learning opportunity. It makes me uncomfortable because it looks like it's racist. There's nothing to introspect there. And it looks like it's racist because, honestly, it is actually a little racist. Don't get me wrong, after reading about Comodo I get why they went with Arabic names, but that doesn't mean it's not still racist. The actual satire could have worked without the racism, and yes, racism can be funny in the right contexts. But none of that means that it's not actually racist at some level. And it's better to acknowledge that, yes, it's a little racist, than it is to try and claim that it's not.
