It is as if we forget that Arab and Muslim Americans have to live with these stereotypes day in and day out, much like Latinos are painted as lazy, fiery, hot blooded, etc. There is also a thin line between satire and offensive material. In that regard, the levels are subjective. This particular New Yorker cover met the offensive criteria for me. This commentary is dead on.
