I had two bad experiences with arab people ...
1st : I was in a gas station n went in to buy somethin, den I came out and got on my car. I stayed there 4 a while cause I was waitin a friend of mine who agreed to meet me there. All of a sudden the freakin arab came out askin me why I was there for so long, that I should go or he will call the police !, I was like ... are you kidding me ? Im doin nothin wrong. But I just let it go and Left.
2nd: I was in a gas station today to get some gas, my car was dry and I went in to get some gas, I told the guy I wanted 10 bucks on gas and I gave him a 20 dollar bill, the guy was gonna give me my 10 dollar change, but in 1 dollar bills, I was like , no man ! just give me a 10 dollar bill, I dont want all that change, then he gave me the 20 dollar bill and I was like whats up with the gas, and hes like no gas today for you ! Im like WHAT? (****** terrorist I thought to myself)

Dude,
Every race has it's dumb f cuks ..
No race or culture is immune..
And it is so easy to fall into the stereotyping game or
if they are middle eastern to put a terrori st spin on it.
Just laugh and realize this is all part of the wacky movie of our lives.

Making an assumption about an entire group of people based on two bad experiences is being very closed minded. In the first instance, most gas stations and convenience stores do not allow loitering (which is what you have described you were doing). It is private property and he has the right to ask you to leave...even if you were not causing any trouble. In the second situation, he may not have had a $10 bill or he may have had an abundance of $1 bills...either way, many times stores/gas stations/etc. will be accommodating if they can but they are not required to. If you did not like the way he was trying to give you change you could simply take your business elsewhere. You seem to have a negative attitude towards "arab People" as is displayed by your question and your "terrorist" remark...perhaps they are picking up on this. Just don't go back to those two gas stations if you are having issues with the people working there.

Why were ten ones a problem? They spend the same, don't they? Maybe the guy was low or out of tens. Business owners have the right to refuse service, too. I suggest you go somewhere else if you don't like him.
I know many Arab Americans that are very nice people - just because there are some Arab extremists around the globe, that doesn't mean that all Arabs are terrorists.

TO all those who insulted Jordan, back off. If you read his note all the way through, you would know he understands these stereotypes is wrong and is trying to do something about it. He is asking for cultural understanding and what you're doing is making things worse. All people are prejudice, and we should respect those who try to control it.
I think they are unable to communicate and gets fustrated easily. The number 2 guy probably couldn't tell you he's out of tens and was too embarassed that he can't explain that to you. PLus what ever the girl who lives in Saudi Arabia says.
Don't mind the PC people, they're bigger bigots than most people I know.
