[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you calling OP a troll vastly underestimate how UMC parents freak out over the thought of their kids being around poor/non Asian POC.  Go read threads in the school forums. The only acceptable public schools are mostly white and Asian UMC ones.  Support refugees, BLM, and immigrants? Sure yeah but not in my kids’ school![/quote]

I agree with a lot of this, but it's a little weird to call Afghanis "non Asian POC's".  What continent do you think Afghanistan is on?[/quote]
DP.. most people would consider them ME Muslims because that's what they look like.  It's not about the continent where you are from, but what you look like.  And of course, they don't like Muslims.[/quote]

For reference, Middle East refers to the (non-European) countries which used to be part of the Ottoman Empire + Iran. Afghanistan is Central Asia, though it is sometimes lumped in with South Asia for strategic reasons. [/quote]

And "muslim" isn't a race or ethnicity.  [/quote]
do you really think certain people would care about either of those things.  Again, it's about what you look like, not about how webster dictionary defiines it.

Afghanis look nothing like Kazahks, btw, and again, people are judged by what they look like, unfortunately.[/quote]
