"I can understand that... because for you, "spoiled Yanks", "Muslim" is an abstract notion --like "communism" or "buddhism"... just another "-ism"-- whereas for us, in Europe, it means flesh-and-blood people, we can put a face on those words (Islam, Muslim, Arab,...)"
Like the treatment of minorities in France and Germany, especially those who happened to look Arab or Turkish has been something to be proud of. You guys are rascist, plain and simple. What you did to my family caused the anger and frustration that led to 9/11. America may be many things, and not all of them good or easy to understand, but at least here the melting pot, works, we meld together, perhaps not perfectly but better than almost anywhere else on earth. If being unspoiled means acting like a Eurpean, I'll take spoiled anyday. You don't know flesh and blood unless you are covering it up with ground after you murder it! |
