Yes, I remember that. But I also remember INNOCENT Arab people receiving death threats and being harrassed here. Just because they looked Arabic or Muslim or Islamic I remember innocent Japanese Americans being put into camps during WWII. They hadn't done anything wrong!

Just because some people choose to respond that way...why do we assume everyone is like that? Yes, some people were celebrating when terrorists struck...but there were also people in that same country mourning our losses too.

That would be like me saying, all blonde women were self centered just because of several blonde girls that were mean to me in high school.

Racism is wrong. Just because other people do it...doesn't make it ok. Jen... I commend you for standing up for others. Doing what is right isn't always easy or popular...but it is still right.
