I've noticed that most people have trouble understanding this, regardless of political affiliation. Islamophobia is a thing. "Racism against Muslims" is not.
- cwkoss 5y agoRacism against Middle Eastern people and islamophobia are thoroughly entangled in the US. I agree Islamophobia is usually the more precise label, but sometimes it's also racism and sometimes rooted more in race than religion. Ex. I think non-muslim Middle Easterners are more likely than white muslims to be accused of being terrorists by bigots.
