[QUOTE="SummerMadness, post: 72356305, member: 142216"] I think this bears repeating again: There is a racial identity attached to whomever is considered the enemy, that is why someone like Alexis Bledel is likely to not be attacked as Hispanic, while someone like George Lopez will experience (and actually has experienced) discrimination based on his skin color. Splitting hairs and arguing that discrimination against Muslims is not based on race ignores the fact that many non-Muslims of Arab, Persian and South Asian descent are routinely discriminated against based on their appearance and/or skin color. There are many people that are not speaking Arabic when they are accosted as Muslims (e.g., speaking Farsi, Aramaic, Hindi, etc.). [/QUOTE]
