Funny, some people in the Arab world are fighting required Hijab use. In the US and Europe, with this happening, I could see many people outside wearing Hijabs that cover your full face in the future.

If you’re referring to Iran then they’re Persian not Arab.

  The Arab world refers to the Islamic countries in the Middle East I believe. Not any specific country

    Iran is in the Middle East and and is also where the most recent and high profile protests against the forced wearing of the hijab have taken place. I’m pretty sure most Iranians wouldn’t take too kindly to being called Arab unless they are from the minority Iranian Arabs.

    Iran is not considered part of the Arabic world and is a completely different branch of Islam.

        There are sunni and shia arabs too, that's a separate distinction. It's more that Iranians and Arabs are two distinct cultures with different languages and histories (though a lot of the more recent history is common or shared). It's like confusing Spain and Poland, yes, they're both European nations that use the latin alphabet, but you'd be wrong to call them both Iberian because of that

    No, Arab implies that someone is either ethnically Arab, or that their mother tongue is a dialect of Arabic

>many people outside wearing Hijabs that cover your full face in the future I'd assume they would be seen as a freak by the average person, in the same way people under the age of 60 who don't own a smartphone are today.

  COVID-19 made wearing face masks normal. No one needs to know if you’re wearing a mask to protect against COVID or to protect your privacy.

In my country it is actually illegal to cover your face. There was a substantial backlash on Islam. https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/gezichtsbedekkende-kleding-in-de-media-boerkaverbod/gezichtsbedekkende-kleding-gedeeltelijk-verbieden https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/gezichtsbedekkende-...

It's peak techbro delusion to think the rest of the population care that much about privacy. I wish I was wrong.
