Line #92 Main/ArabAmericansInMedia


1	Media focusing on Arab-American people, which are defined as Americans who can trace ancestry to the UsefulNotes/ArabWorld[[note]]Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen[[/note]] as well as characters from surrounding countries that claim Arab descent. We ask to list Arab-Americans in central roles (as in the story centers around them in some part); a good rule of thumb is to consider is that whether or not the work is about an Arab-American person or Arab-American people as opposed to playing a part in an ensemble.
