While I'm not a big fan of Sye Ten Atheist's videos, because I don't think "edginess" is an argument, (and I'm sure he could do better) I don't think you can call it "demeaning racial caricatures" when I recognize most of these as actual, specific people.

He has a video called something like "The sound of Islam". It's basically a heap of absurdities that are written in the Qu'ran. Plus, the majority of his videos are grounded in truth, and I believe the views in this video in particular are the views of specific people that have been represented as caricatures.

Oh yeah, I remember that one now. It's a bit better. Lately I've only seen the one in the OP and the one that compares islamists and feminists that got Richard Dawkins in trouble, both of which are kind of "meh".
