Uneducated...they live a more sheltered existence. And by education I mean experience with people that are not similar to themselves.

Because we live in a world where we like to believe racial stereotyping doesn't exist, but it does. It will never change. Racists are ignorant, but if the worst you get is some nobody calling you a terrorist, get over it, the Jews got worse.

Basically the same as when America fought the Japanese in the second World War, generalization. Atleast this time they didn't gather up arabian citizens and put them in detention camps.

D-RS

the hatredthe weeks after9/11 on the internet, i clearly remember, was unbelievable. i don't know who was doing it and how they were doing it so much but i still seeoffensive comments like that on the internet to this day on topics to do with terrorism.

these "people" who consider all arabs terrorist are most likely conservatives from within the united states.

its important to ignore them.

Are you serious? I answered your question as to who generalizes.:|

he was referring to the topic of your post: "Why do a lot of people consider all Arabians terrorist". He's saying that the reason those people do is because they are uneducated and live a more sheltered existence and hang around with people who are too similar to themselves and therefore they don't get a lot of exposure to alternate thinking/viewpoints.

There were a group that had only japanese-american soldiers who fought in the Pacific, uh..I think it was named the 442nd regiment or so while their families were in the detention camps.

Yeah but American history is littered with some of the most God awful race crimes known to the world. But because it's the west we like to paint it over and keep it hush hush.

Your country had to have a war before it decided that slavery was evil. Your country allowed a man like J Edgar Hoover to be head of the FBI knowing he was racist. And men like King who just so happened to be mysteriously assisanted because he wanted civil rights. The US didn't even abolish the John Crow laws until '65, which were anything but equal! What about the Newark Riots, which came about when two white Newark policemen arrested a black cabdriver, John W. Smith, for improperly passing them on 15th Avenue?

He is actually right, Europe in general has done the worst things when it comes to racism and such, infact Europe is to blame for the borders in Africa which has caused conflict later and for stealing it's natural resources. But America isn't innocent either, nor is Asia.

While most people with a brain know that terrorism is an ideology that is completely separate from race, nationality and religion, most people believe everything they see on TV. As it so happens the face of terrorism in the 2000's just happens to be that of the Arab. Still worse, is that in the 90's it was the Arab then too, probably because there was a lot of terrorists who were arabs (or Muslims ). In the past the face of terrorism was Irish, and Russian (communism).

Living in Sydney, Australia, I have a thing or two to say about the Lebanese (particularly the behavioural differences between Muslim Lebanese and Christian Lebanese), but I think that's something more suited for a private chat.

It's mostly personal experience, and off-topic, so I'm not going to say anything that will get me into trouble.

Ignorance. Lack of education. Closed-mindedness (not sure that that's a word... but it is now). People can just be stupid.
