y do ppl look down on all arabs? we're not all bad...?

Answer 1

I don't think I look down on Arabs. I would say that the reason many people do look down on Arabs is because even though you are not all bad, the good ones don't come out and criticize the bad ones. If you want people to know that you are not like the terrorists - CONDEMN THE TERRORISTS.

Answer 2

Not many do.
I am scared of some Arabs, because if they are young and male, and on the tube I worry they might be terrorists, I know not all are, but I sometimes prefer to move carriages rather than take the risk.
I dislike some people in London, who have moved here from other countries, and have made no effort to understand my culture or adapt. For example, I frequently come across people who are speaking a forgein language at a bus stop while I am right next to them, and then speak English perfectly the next second to the bus driver. In England it is rude to do this because you are deliberately excluding the other people and could be talking about them for all they know. People who come to England from other countries should make an effort to learn about our culture, learn our language and learn our manners and customs. Many do, but plenty don't and it just makes me respect them less, but this isn't specific to Arabs in any way.

Answer 3

I know several Arabs I adore as friends, I think there are just people who want to not like someone , or someones race just because it gives them something to do. I just answered several questions calling all Americans Stupid, and All Japanese weirdos.
People , on a general scale just seem to go with stereotypes because they may not have a basis of comparison of their own. I come from two different cultures and live in another culture altogether. Thru my travels, someone hates someone. It's just because you are Arab that you notice the Arab Racism. Trust me, everyone gets it somehow. I get Black people turning their nose up at me, Mexicans being rude to me, It's everyone. You would think in our modern world, none of that would exist...But it does. CHIN UP! There are good people out there too!
Good Luck- Someday we will all get along. WE can look at this as a stepping stone, Japanese British and Arab helping eachother. See? already making the World a better place.

Answer 4

It's just fear and ignorance, of course not all arabs are bad, there is not one race of people that are "all bad" people just stereotype and make assumptions based on what they hear.

Answer 5

I don't. People are people. Having been "stereotyped" myself I can understand your problem.

Answer 6

most are... those that are decent are far and few between....
