No doubt, but his name's a disadvantage.

This thread is the first time I have even heard that be an issue and he's a 5th year Senior and we're in Georgia. In fact playing off his last name the student section chants Ali Ali Ali (instead of the World Cup Ale Ale Ale) whenever he hits a crazy 3. This is very diverse city and most likely your TSA agent will be Somali and your taxi driver is likely to be Ethiopian. So Arabic names are not rare or shocking especially at one of the most diverse universities in the United States. Lastly people should educate themselves. His first name means struggle in Arabic. Ignorance cause people to only associate the word with a holy war. But enough about that.

Would much rather talk about how Eric Buckner and Coach Ron Hunter got JOBBED last night at the CAA Conference Award Banquet. How can the guy who is 5th in the NATION in blocked shots not be your DPOY??? You pick GSU 11th in conference in the pre-season and a first year coach wins 20 games and he's NOT the COY?!?! I would hate to be Hofstra tonight.

No wonder you can't get a soul to show up for American football games at that school...

Seems like you're suggesting that the color of your skin and where your parents and grandparents were born is what makes you an American. Great job not making Boone a stereotype the way. Wow. You really need to remove those universities from your profile because you're misreprenting both.
