I would disagree. The only thing offensive about the MOBs description was the "towel-head" reference. Maybe most people have not been exposed to cultures that find this term offensive. It would be the same as using the phrase "spear chucker" or "wet back." If the description had read: "A small skinny dark skinned man with a turban wrapped about his head talk [sic] to you in giberish. The smell of him is like burnt cabbage" I would agree that any offense taken would be overly PC.
