Why would you have that vibe? I haven't said anything derogatory about anyone or anything middle eastern. I wanted a different character other than Damian because as Batman's son, Damain is well centered in the Bat family. I felt the same about Tim Drake initially, as I saw a new Robin as a chance for a widening of the Bat Family past another white male. No, I don't have anything against Dick's ethnicity (Romani) or Tim's, but I was more interested when Robin was female (Dark Knight Returns, Spoiler) and when Cassie became Batgirl who was initially mute. Damian is in by birth, and as new Bat characters aren't created often, I would have fathered a new character and a different ethnicity.
