There have been records upon records of discriminatory acts against Muslims and other visible minorities in the states, but this is just sickening. I for one have never seen discrimination on live video more than I have seen it in the movies and those re-enactions in documentaries. The video? Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. I was going to puke, but I don't want to waste a morning breakfast on account of a few ignorant racists... Well, 13% stood up with the Muslim woman, and 6% stood with the baker. Both the Muslim and the baker were actors, so the real condemnation goes against those who discriminated. Worse still, the remaining stood silent and did absolutely nothing. In the words of one concerned viewer, it would be no wonder to find that some of them are "closeted bigots".
The only bright side to this video is the humanity exhibited by those who stood up for the woman. This is interesting to note, considering that yesterday (or the day before?) was the commemoration of Martin Luther King, Jr. In case you haven't heard of him, or you live under a rock, he was a civil rights leader who did much to fight institutionalized and social discrimination in the States. Nevertheless, visible minorities, including Muslims, are discriminated in the States. They are discriminated in different ways, but all are quantitatively equally discriminated against. No one is special. We're all human. But apparently, some of us are stuck in our mass-produced racist and political views. Either way, enjoy the video.
Thanks to Ali for showing me the video.
Salaam, from Saracen
