28473, I asked for ONE example. Posted by chillsm00th, Fri Apr-01-05 12:07 PM
Just ONE example of someone using "A-rab" to demean, stereotype, attack, or belittle Middle Eastern people. And throughout nearly 200 posts, no one has provided a SINGLE example of the people using the term trying to offend, only of people feeling offended. I'm sorry if you all think I'm asking for something out of the ordinary. I could give you a litany of those things associated with "towelhead," "hadji," "sand nigger," "Mohammed," my damn self.
The only semblance of examples I have heard is that "rednecks are ignorant and racist," which in and of itself is a prejudiced statement, "and they say 'A-rab'," and that there is anti-Arab racism generally in America. And no one has responded to anything I've said, other than to say, "How arrogant of you to dare ask!"
