Absolutely. (Although bear in mind that the term 'African-American' for someone with brown skin is American-centric, and other countries don't use it. Luckily WA understood you.)
On the other side of the coin, while visiting Dallas on work from Europe, I was asked, quite seriously, whether I was worried about the the Muslim campaign to control Europe by outbreeding the natives (or something, I'm not good at remembering this stuff). I don't think they'd ever met a Muslim in their life.
- striking 11y agoWhoops. I edited, thank you. And yeah. What a world we live in. Hopefully someday these people will find out how perfectly usual everyone is, even people from different cultures.
- ashwinaj 11y agoThere is a large Muslim population in the Dallas area. The problem is a combination of (self or social) segregation and poor integration of the immigrant communities. Not knowing members of your society just because you have preconceived notions about them is pathetic, but painfully real.
