[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arab American should be considered POC, but unfortunately we have an extremely narrow conception of what that means in this country.[/quote] Why? You're white and if dressed like typical American, you get treated no differently when you walk into a store or restaurant. No one is judging you on your skin color. [/quote] Uhhhh, until a terrorist attack happens. Then all of a sudden "white" people can tell the difference and definitely don't treat arabs as "white"[/quote] No, the tall, blonde Arab is not getting called a terrorist walking down the street or even getting the extra screening at the airport. It’s the darker skinned South Asian that is. Americans equate Brown with terrorists. They don’t care if their not even from an Arab country or not Muslim. [/quote] DP. I'm willing to bet a MAJORITY of arabs in the US aren't blonde. Stop it. [/quote]
