Yes. And it would probably also caused a lot of problems for the minority as well.
How would you feel, if an Arab-looking person came up to you, gave you a dollar, and say: "Scream in my face you <insert expletive>!" - somehow I think you would feel offended - yet at the same time it seems that commercials can have such effects. And if not you, other women would feel offended, uncomfortable and all that.
I can well imagine, that people who have a Polo say that it is not too great for Arabs, as they want to blow up things. It is different if the joke is made by Arabs than when it is made to Arabs - we have a lot of controversy over here about things you can only say if you are a Jew, especially with regards to the Second World War.
