Sooner or later the majority of the fans will find out that Damien is not actually white. Correct me if Im wrong but his ring name is Caucasian when he is of Arabic ethnicity.
I'm guessing they all choose to give him a white name because they were afraid people wouldn't like him because of his name?

Unless his name is Osama Hitler Satan, I wouldn't think it'd be that big a problem.
Though that REALLY sounds like it'd be an indy character doesn't it?

What ethnicity would be a man named Kassius Ohno if someone mentions it without knowing that Chris Hero uses the name?

Indy reports from all the way back to 2001 list him as "Aaron Stevens." It was his choice, not the WWE.

It's also kind of weird that The Iron Sheik and Sabu are such likable charcters that I forget theyre arabic. Maybe it's the whole Muhammad Hassan thing that made me think this

I was born in the United Arab Emirates. My mother is German. My half-brother played hockey for the Buffalo Sabres. I am not a bad person. Although I did get a citation for not wearing a seat belt while driving a car. NOW WHO WANTS TO SEE ME DO SOME FLIPS?" *crowd pops*

Of course, Lebanese are actually white, which means Mister Sandow is. I'm off to start the thread about Sakamoto not being Asian.

What ethnicity would be a man named Kassius Ohno if someone mentions it without knowing that Chris Hero uses the name? Combination Black and Japanese, but that's only because Cassius Clay and Sonny Onoo.

I imagine once fans find out he is not of the Caucasian persuasion, the racist neuron present in every wrestling fan's brain will start firing uncontrollably, causing them to let fly with racial epithets and swearing so unbelievably offensive that the government would have to step in and shut wrestling down forever.

Yeah, not all arabs are dark skinned. Hell, AFAIK the Lebanese don't really consider themselves Arabic. Mostly speaking french and there own version of Arabic.

I'm trying to decipher the point of the OP. Wrestling fans in general are racist/xenophobic?
