What if you found out women in Saudi contributed to the creation of this robot? What if the robot wasn’t even made by people from Saudi? The fact you wrote “their”, summarizing an entire nation of people as being the same, is where the Xenophobia/racism kicks in. “It’s just a joke bruh” is basically your defence. I don’t get it, it’s not funny.
