I dont think that all american people dislike arab people. However I do agree that there is a sterotype that many arab people are "terrorists." Although this sterotype is most certainly not valid, I'm sure that it was born of the conflict between america and some middle eastern nations and the 9/11 attacks. also the us is an ally of israel which has many problems with some arabic countries.

Here's how their thinking goes:
some Muslim extremists are responsible for 9/11
Muslims = Arabs
Therefore all Arabs are Muslim extremists
therefore all Arabs are terrorists
You have to remember that a lot of Americans like their food fattening, their cars big, and their arguments simple.
Don't worry about it. 99% of Americans have never met an Arab, so their thinking comes from a position of ignorance.

Most Americans dislike the terrorists. We just can't tell which Arabs want to kill us and which don't. Can You???

If they do hate SOME Arabs, it is not for being Arab, but maybe for being intolerant, fanatical and aggressive Islamist radicals.
If you are not, you do not have to worry. Arabs have the same chances in America as other immigrants.

Because they are thinking that this people have oil and nothing else. I sometimes dislike them . I am an asian, but they behave like god created the earth for them to live and the rest of the world should work for them because of the oil that god placed in their ground.
