I would like to talk about Racism towards Arabic Americans right now.

Im an Arabic American and I have felt serious racism towards me. Such as its harder to fly being Arabic in the United States. People stare at you like your going to blow the plane up.

And there is a large Anti Islamic Setiment in the United States.

All in all being a Arabic Muslim American is very hard.

And all was happy.

Yeah, it's pretty fucked up. There was an Indian family in my town who owned a local store, and people joking called their store "Osama Flynn Laden's". They aren't even from the Middle East! And they were hindu, not muslim!

TBH, I always demand for the passenger list prior to board a plane, and if I see any arab lastname listed, I demand a flight change.

I understand completely. On soo many websites people have been trying to shut down anti semitism, and meanwhile nobody really knows what a semite is, and all they end up doing is creating Arab-hate. It's disgusting.

yeah, people are real idiots.
and just putting it out there, during Gandhi's time and beyond, muslims and hindus were always pretty much against each other. Thus the state of Pakistan was born.

I don't mind getting on a plane with Muslims.

But if there's a ginger on that plane, I ain't flying.

They shouldn't blame any Religion or Race.bc every Religion has Radicals.Not all Americans are like that though.You might have heard about the Egyptian German Italian Hostages who've been kidnapped for 10 days in the Western Desert.Terrorism is not a Religion nor is it a Race,wake up ppl !!

sorry to hear about that bro

Arabic - language.
Arab - people. You are an Arab American, not an Arabic American.
