Talk:Reza Aslan

Semi-protected edit request on 16 November 2020
Dr. Aslan is listed among American Cannibals, most likely by a troll. This should be removed. Sasquatch alien (talk) 03:20, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done I'm assuming you were referring to the Category:American cannibals rather than text, else it has already been done — IVORK Talk 05:06, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No, it was not a troll. What else would you call someone who eats human flesh? Failedattempt (talk) 20:55, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Controversy surrounding United States of Al, a show produced by Reza Asian. Released to mostly negative reviews, United States of Al was criticized for its humor, use of antiquated tropes, and casting of an Indian actor to play an Afghan lead with an inauthentic accent. However, the show was praised by some for its attempts to diversify television, and for the cultural representation of its main character. Prior to airing, some of the show's promotional material received negative feedback. In particular, critics called out the casting of a South-African-born Indian actor to play an Afghan lead and his use of an inauthentic accent. 2601:205:380:AEA0:39A6:7798:B6B1:75A (talk) 21:22, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. It's unclear what section this should be added in. Also I believe that criticism that strong should probably have more than a single source that just quotes angry tweets. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

 * You need to get consensus to include this, especially as a full section. Once there is consensus then it can be added. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:35, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

“United States of Al”
Controversy surrounding United States of Al, a show produced by Aslan for CBS. Released to mostly negative reviews, United States of Al and its makers were criticized for the show’s humor, use of antiquated tropes, and in particular, critics called out the casting of a South-African-born Indian actor to play an Afghan lead and his use of an inauthentic accent. Aslan defended the show on social media and interviews with several outlets. He has stated numerous times that the show was produced by two Muslim Iranian American producers in addition to having Afghans and Afghan-Americans in the writers’ room. 2601:205:380:AEA0:4027:7917:D867:DAD8 (talk) 21:39, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Reza Aslan is a cannibal. This needs to be added back to his page. It was removed back in 2020 due to so called "trolls". However the claim is 100% true. Reza is a cannibal. You can watch him eat human brain on his own show that used to air on CNN. 24.52.19.183 (talk) 05:00, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

 * The sources cited of his cannibalistic incident are legion. Humans who eat human flesh are cannibals. Failedattempt (talk) 21:02, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
