[quote=Anonymous]Many Muslims were upset about the DEI or affirmative action stuff with the schools. Believe it or not Arabs are white on the Us census.

It’s a strange political situation being Arab American and Muslim or Christian but also white on your ID or college application.

I think people need to understand the community has diversities and complexities among race and class that are hard for Americans or even natives from the ME to even identify.

For example, are Arabs Asian, white, or African? Is an Egyptian African? According to the US, they’re white.

Arabic is also not the only language Arabs speak. Asyrrian is still a language and so is Kurdish. I even know many Arabs who will quietly admit their grandmothers or grandfathers were Jewish but intermarried or converted because they didn’t want to move to Israel and lose their money and land behind in the Me.

There are lots of reasons  and complexities in this community and just screaming Gaza doesn’t cut it.

I guess you’d also be surprised to learn there are even some Muslim Zionists or folks that served in the IDF or US military[/quote]
