No one knew i was muslim or half pakistani in college so once these girls were talking about the muslim bombings that happend in london, And basically saying muslims are ALL terrorists etc, I confronted them and asked them why r u bein so disrespectful coz im muslim. They were so shocked and didnt even realise i was asian let alone muslim.. They apologised, and i said ‘exactly not every muslim is the same’ I still remember that..
I also once had a friend tht was irish and everyone used to call him a terrorist etc. It used to get to him but then he jus laughed it off, i mean what can u do? Its not peoples fault they think like that its the media, ppl r gullable and like to believe everything they read and watch. Un-educated people no doubt.
PunjabiRose its great to hear that you’ve never had any issues, even during 9/11… The Irish people too are very polite and respectful but their mood kinda changes when something like 9/11 happens… I’ve never had a direct racist attack or anything but u know u can just feel what the other person is thinking… And this is what I felt in the explosives lecture today… nobody gave me dirty looks or anything like that but I could just feel them looking at me with questioning eyes…
Well I am an utter *******. If I meet a European or an American and they ask me where I am from I say a Terrorist nation and then spend the rest of the time ****ing with them. Nothing makes gorays more uncomfortable when you use their own words against them to mock them.
If I was in the bomb class I would do everything in my power to **** with the teacher. Ask about suicide bombings, ball bearings and the like.
^ I would have probably started a political conversation if any one had said anything to me but as I said, only a few of them were only looking at me in a weird way… no one said anything, otherwise I probably would have spoken up too.
