I literally did not think of the Brokers as “Arab” until the OP.
And now that I think about it . . . I still don’t think of the Brokers as Arabic.

I’m just tired of everyone looking at something and trying to find fault. Be it racism or some other reason.
Sure things of that nature do need addressed. We all know that.
He mentions the voice actor which he claims is mocking his family.

Everything in this expansion is shady.

I honestly gave it little thought, other than I loved the sound of her voice.
It just sounds so cultured and yet snobby. Also she speaks slowly because to pronounce her words. I dunno, it’s just a cool voice.

I actually agree with the OP, but I am not offended as stuff like this does not offend me and besides, most of WoW’s races are based on real life racial stereotypes. I’m Irish and I am not offended by Dwarves.

All races in the game are the result of racial cultural appropriation.

Did you rage against Pandaren? How about the Trade Federation in Episode One? Do you hate Aladdin? Does every holiday in WoW make you angry?
I ask these questions, because all of them in some way mimick something in real life.
Also: been waiting since launch to see if someone would flip out over the Brokers.

Where was the OP’s outrage when savage, cannibalistic trolls used Jamaican and African accents?

All I know is… if they give me hundreds of gold for grey vendor trash and then compliment me on driving a hard bargain… they’re OK in my book.

So, the only bad people and bad guys MUST have a stereotypical European background, both literally and metaphorically… otherwise it is racist.

I have literally never seen them as Arabs or even remotely connected them, like Arabs must be the last thing that comes to my mind when I see the Brokers.
To be honest I think you’re the racist one here mate, you’re the one making all the negative connections and assumptions here.

For one thing they have the fashion sense of a 15th-16th century fool…(court jester)

Probably because they don’t sound arab outside of Ven’ari. And that’s just because the VA is Egyptian.
The males don’t sound arab to me at all. For one they can pronounce their “Ps”. The OP is stretching like Stretch Armstrong
