"However, Nadim Salhani, the Lebanese-naturalized-Thai CEO who runs Mudman Company Limited said to the Christian Science Monitor that the "[criticism was] paranoid American thinking." Then adding: "It's absolutely ridiculous, we're not allowed to use black to promote our doughnuts? I don't get it. What's the big fuss? What if the product was white and I painted someone white, would that be racist?"
In a recent tweet Mr. Salhani told of his excitement of seeing Earth Wind and Fire live on stage after growing up to their music. I am under the impression that he was also listening to the Rolling Stones "Paint in black" as well during that same formative period.

Bottom line: You can take the Lebanese out Lebanon, but you cannot take Lebanon (and its skewed moral values) out of the Lebanese!" (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
