<p>As a Middle Easterner living in a post 9-11 America, I can honestly say that this whole racism deal is over-exaggerated. The only time I seem to feel discriminated against is when I am traveling and get pulled over for “random screening”. How do I know that this screening isn’t so random? Almost everyone undergoing random screening looks/is Middle Eastern. lol. But I really don’t care because it only takes away 5 minutes of my life. Five minutes which would have been spent doing something unproductive, such as writing this post. Anyways, I understand the need for such screening because hijackers are almost always going to be of Middle Eastern decent. I am guessing that the majority of Middle Easterners do not file lawsuits and throw fits over such trivial matters. Perhaps, this is the reason why America, as a whole, quickly overcame a racist attitude toward Middle Easterners. </p>
<p>I believe that when African Americans, especially their leaders, start trusting American society, American society will start trusting African Americans, and the country can finally ascend over any existing remnants of America’s racist past.</p>
