My friend Zac is from Middle Eastern descent..His dad is from the Middle East, and his mom is American, but that's beside the point, he's my friend but because of all the stuff happening in Iraq, Isreal, Lebanon ,Iran, I'm starting to doubt his good nature.(personality) I want to see him, I mean, after all HE is my friend, but I mean starting to feel worried about his reliability... What should I do?
*His dad is from Jordan*

Judging?! I'm not juding anyone! Seriously! I don't judge people byt heir race, and I'm not saying all Middle Easern are bad, but he hasn't called me, (he wasn't at home) and he hasn't responded to my letters at all. I'm going to see him personally because like I said He is My friend... if you think I'm juding , then...

By all means keep on seeing him in less he has said or done something to cause you to question your friendship with him. To judge a person by the action of others is wrong. If your brother is a criminal does that make you a criminal? You are asking if it is OK to end a friendship because people of a similar ethnic background have a percentage of their population waging a war of terror against the US and several other countries. I believe you are able to answer the question yourself. I personally would not want to have a friend who instead of accepting me for who I am judged me by the action of someone who has some ethnic or religious or etc... the same as me. Think about how you would like to be treated and you will have an answer you can live with. Try to be your own person and not let others prejudice make your choices for you. Good Luck.

Well ta me you should not judge a person by there nationality you should judge them by there actions an words that speaks allot louder then there nationality now I'm not saying let yo guard down because you should always stay well aware of what goes a round you with any person of any nationality because a snake is a snake what ever color or place it comes from but just keep ya eyes open but don't judge so fast tho.

Don't look at it like that. Don't judge him based on his culture. He's his own person. If he acts sheisty, then don't be friends with him. But otherly, I wouldn't stop being friends with a person due to his culture. That's generalizing. Perphaps even discrimination or racism.

Well is he showing signs of being dishonest? If not don't cut off the friendship. It's not his fault how he was made just as you. True friends stick to one another and don't abandon each other due to their culture.

It does not matter where his father, or your friend, were born.
The important thing is, is your friend is loyal and true to you?
Or he is a two face? Race doesn't matter, what matter is the kind of persons he is!!!
Don't pay attention to what people says!!

you have to stop judging someone for reasons that don't concern him. he is simply an individual, he has nothing to do with high politics. if you think that way, it is he who has to doubt whether he should see you or not
