Yeah a new character was announced 3 hours ago and people checked the timeline and the new character release. Rashid looks more of a Aladdin or Genie reference type character, but people blew it up for a inside joke because he was released on 9/11 and Arab situation.
Yeah, although they meant it particularly towards the character because of the Arab background (We don't even know if he's full Arab either.) but that was a inside joke I surprisingly did not see coming.
