We are jealous, but it's positive jealous.
We are
That's true, yeah
I know Lebanese are loud and passionate
Compared with Lebanese, Iraqis are so angry
Arabic and Iraqi, we are like eughh [Arabic]
I just realised here that when I'm riding the bus and talking on the phone how loud I am
In our family, like if you don't scream that means like you're not talking so you have to scream
I got this
But I think that's it
Yeah, no
It can get intense [laughter]
[Laughter]
Because we are so social with each other
For example if you're sitting in a café
You say 'Allah Bekhair', 'Allah Bekhair', 'Allah Bekhair'
So you care about other people
And the other people, they care about you
In Jordan there is not much of a bling
But maybe the GCC, the Gulf people
That's right
Their bags, Gucci bags, their cars
So the girls always like to look for the guy with a nice car
So they'll look for subject where they can introduce the brand of the car
And make it sound like it's casual
Very suave about it too
And subtle, but not so subtle
Presenting a certain image of yourself as being successful and so on
That's part of the culture
My mother, when she encouraged me to marry, she said
This girl, she's very clean she's organised
To your mom or your family
They're gonna go and meet the girl that you like
They're gonna look into these things
She doesn't cook, like the house is a mess
From the older generations, I guess
Not us
I don't like it
I'm not like that
I'm not the perfect wife in Saudi
If my wife cooks and cleans, that's amazing
However, it's not something I'd say
Hey, she needs to do it, I got it
I like cooking, I like cleaning
I like doing it together
Traditionally speaking, yeah
You have the whole idea of preparing the girl for marriage
I've seen also strong characters
Rise as a counter of that
[Do you personally want it?]
[Do you want, personally, a wife who's all of these?]
[Be honest]
Who's submissive? Hell no
Now you like a girl to be, like, a business girl
Like let's say like she's well-rounded
She knows how to carry herself
Changing
It's true, but changing
[Laughter]
Very much
Yes
You got a phone call
Who was that? Where are you going?
How long are you staying? Who's your new friend?
I don't know. They love controlling
They're always controlling the way you dressing
Who you're talking to
Where were you at this exact time? Why didn't you answer my phone?
Yes, we are jealous, but a positive jealous
I go through this fight with my girlfriend
Sorry, babe
What's the need of
Exposing like this part of your body a little bit more, like a lot, why?
Why?
I guess it's a way of saying that you want her
They can manifest in extreme ways
Oh, definitely
That's true
For sure
Hundred percent. I think, I think even
It was so hard to get you, so
I'd definitely say that
Very very into the whole spoiling
Making her feel like an 'amira'
So like a princess or a queen
In fact they would be insulted if you dare even
[Laughter]
Even try to reach for the bill
They'll probably cut your hand
The man always pays
The man takes care of everything
We don't have the concept of sharing, you know
Like sharing the bill, sharing the rent
[So if you go out with a guy, and the guy's like]
[Let's split the bill]
Oh
[What would be your reaction?]
It would be a shock if it's a guy from the same background
We like to
Buy it our love to do something nice to her
So they feel like we are so harsh
And like arghh
But we are not
That they're dumb
They didn't go to school or didn't get an education
We ride camels
We live in pyramids
We beat women
They mix up a lot of things about terrorists
About all these problems
They think Arabs are very closed-minded
And hardened in their views of society and life
We're kind
If we want to hug you it doesn't mean that we're gonna kill you
You can hug us back
If you go to anybody's home who's from that background
You will find a lot of food
You're greeted with food
Yes
And tea
Yes
Moroccan Tea
Family
Yeah
Family is important in the Middle East
It's really important
The connection
Yeah
Diversity
I mean, look
Different shades
Different shapes
Hey guys
I hope you enjoyed another edition of the stereotypes
And this one was an Arabs reacting to stereotypes
Tell me
Where are you from?
And what stereotypes do you...?
