What does that have to do with me saying Arab look Latino and that in Miami Islamophobia isn't the same as it is in Kansas.

And in this case, you're very wrong. You're asking people to rescind their religion and large parts of their identity in order for other bigoted people to somehow mistake them for another minority, and then treat them better for it? Do you not see how that perspective is problematic? Girl he said he was Christian. How am I making him rescind his religion? At least follow the conversation.

What are you even talking about? I don't get what's your point. You're talking about islamophobia still, and my point still stands. Whether as a religion or not, an islam background cannot be hid just because you're afraid other people might discriminate you for it. Let those bigots be afraid, why should you? I don't get why you're choosing to die on this hill. You're terribly wrong no matter how you twist it. Former First Lady of the United States.

I'm just saying there are parts in the west that aren't as Islamophobic as YouTube suggests. That is all. I didn't say Islamophobia doesn't exists as a whole. What do you think I am an idiot?

Saying arabs can blend in as latinos as if that is a solution is nonsense Islamphobia doesn't target Muslims it targets everyone he may look, sound and resemble whatever comes as a consequence of these useless wars. The moment I speak my language I get looks and people keep more distance. Do you think people ask me about my religion before they inflect their Islamphobic behaviour? If they do, is it justified ?

I'm not asking anyone to change anything about themselves. Why were you saying arabs look latino? You were saying that to deny the fact islamophobia is a present issue, and because you wanted to defend the possibility of arab people "disguising" as latinx people to not be discriminated against. You even quoted me saying there are still people who discriminate against Japanese people but yet you can find a Japanese restaurant anywhere. Wtf kinda take is that? You're denying the existence of islamophobia and you denied it twenty times over by now, and this all started because I said the US was key in creating a widespread fear of islam thanks to the War on Terror, yet you said it wasn't so because "you can find Japanese restaurants nearby".

No hun that, but that happens to all of us. It shouldn't keep you from moving here if that's what you want. That's the usual xenophobia and racism that we all deal with in the US. I mean black people get shot up in churches more than Muslims in mosques in the US. I'm pretty sure Jewish synagogues are vandalized and so are mosques. I mean I had a mosque a block from my house they run a community day care. No one cares. I'm just saying not everything is the same. The US isn't just a blanket country. So yeah there is Islamophobia, it's just not worse than any other xenophobia or racism. But if you want to stay in you country. By all means live where you like. It's your choice.

Lol I never said I want to move to the US, you must be confusing with someone else. I already live in Eu and I live through many of those incidents all the time. I am not muslim and I am not fan of religion. No place is a blanket space but in reality islamphobia is not just hate attacks. It is everyday life aggressions and hate for no logical reason. I haven´t been allowed into many bars/clubs with comments such as ´we don't accept people like u´(even gay places). I don´t have to be stabbed or hate crimed to experience such behaviour COME ON GAYS!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
