I think the joke about "honest" comes from the used car salesman bit and the "Achmed" comes from the Iran hack.
It is perhaps unfortunate that they came together in a way that sounds like a stereotype about dishonest Arabs (I hadn't heard of this stereotype before reading the thread).
- xpaulbettsx 15y agoI don't think it's particular to Arabs, dishonesty is attributed to any "not them" group by prejudiced people
