Answer 1

You probably won't have a problem. I'm sure you'll have a pleasant time during your stay.

Answer 2

i could say all newborn loose persons and couples face intrinsic discrimination is society. i'm Australian and we presently had a many times used election for a sparkling federal government. in the process the campaigning earlier than the election, the politicians on the two sides have been frantically attempting to out do one yet another in merchandising tax breaks and particular money and centers for families and mothers with toddlers. of direction this replaced into no distinctive from the different election interior the previous. the factor is that single people subsidize the babies of others by bigger taxation. Govermental rules regard the needs of adults with babies to be extra important that that of childless adults. no person tries to entice the vote of the childless adults, they do no longer look to be seen a valid demographic or maybe to point they're is frequently recognized as some thing perverse. Politicians have even stated they're unashamedly professional-kin biased of their rules and that's basically an admission they're discriminatory (yet in a criminal way considering that there are no rules to guard single people as a demographic). i'm childless with the help of decision. i've got faith that our international has far too many people and various people who call for the astonishing to babies are surely egocentric. in the event that they suspect in babies lots, why no longer undertake extremely than provide the overburdened planet (and single taxpayers) yet another mouth to freed?

Answer 3

Probably not. It depends on where you go in US, and how you look. If you wear western clothes and don't talk about Jihad or Militant Islam, you'll probably be OK. It also depends on how dark-skinned you are. Obviously, whiter is better! Depending on your sex, I would not wear a beard or hijab or any Muslim clothes. Even if you did, you'd most likely be OK, especially in larger cities. But, to play it on the safe side, try to fit in. There are plenty of cities in US, which have sizable Arab and/or Muslim communities. I hope you visit The States, and have a pleasant stay. I suspect you speak Aussi-English, as such, most Americans will probably just think your an Australian, and not really pay much attention to your ethnic/religious background. Just say stuff like,"G'day mate", and ,"Let's throw another shrimp on the barbie." You'll probably be astonished by the number of obese people here.......many Americans resemble live-stock. I highly recommend that you visit the United States. Maybe I'll see you, when you come to visit. We can grab a beer or something.

Answer 4

U might but I have an idea if u do .............
when they start say in a loud voice " the wires coming out of the bottom of my jacket aern't 4 a bomb,there my discman earphones"
I think if u do this all will b well & remember 2morrow is a day not 2 smile if u r a muslim (9/11).
May allah watch over u & yr family.

Answer 5

Uhm... Looks to me like Nicole and EASYPEAZYLEMONSQUEEZY pretty much answered your question, huh? The latter didn't even take time to notice that you specify you are from Australia - unless he/she's convinced Aussies discriminate against Americans. However, the States are a beautiful country and well worth visiting.

Answer 6

Good luck in America. Now if you came to S.A. the only discrimination you might get is that you have an Australian accent and considering our rivalry (good rivalry) on the sport fields other than we don't really worry about religion or culture here

Answer 7

I dont think you will face as much discrimination as you think you will. Remember how the japanese bombed pearl harbor well i live in hawaii about half an hour from pearl harbor and there are so many japanese people here and everyone gets along just fine so i wouldnt worry about it.

Answer 8

dont you worry about your travel to the USA. there is no such descrimination of race or ethnic group happening in the USA as long as you work for your own living in a decent way and not against the US government when you are in the USA , of course you are b eing govern by ;their own laws, the laws of USA and not your laws anymore as lebanese. just forget your laws enacted in lebanon and follow the laws in the USA

Answer 9

I wouldnt think you would. I can only speak for myself and those I surround myself with.
We are open to many people with different backgrounds.
if you have an aussie accent, that will make you stand out but in a cool way.

Answer 10

you'll face about 100 times less discrimination than i'd feel in your country, as someone from USA 8/ ....... so if it happens to you, dont just think we're bad people. and even if you get disrciminated on, it will just be a dirty look or 2, or in a rare case, a direct racial joke, unlike over there, where we get approached by a crazed bomb strapped kamakazi or kidnapped and forced to trade to another religion, or get your head cut off with a knife
