It's up to the people of America to break this trend. Though I don't like to admit it, this and the resurgence in hate crimes against Middle Easterners may just show that there will always be discrimination against every non-white race in America at some level. Just look at African American people it has been half a century since equality was granted to them in America, and yet there is still much racism present in modern-day America.

However, I know that it will take an extremely long time for total acceptance to occur, if ever. After over a decade, some Americans still view all Middle Easterners and Muslims as dangerous. I had hoped that people might have learned to make this distinction in the 12 years since 9/11, but, given the recent rise in hate crimes following the Boston bombings, it seems that America is farther from acceptance than I had thought. Middle Easterners are being generalized as terrorists and being attacked for simply being, because some people still refuse to separate terrorism from race and religion and continue to associate all Muslims and Middle Eastern people with extremism and terrorism. The article compares these violent acts to those committed following the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. In an article published on, recent hate crimes against Middle Easterners because of the Boston bombings are listed and examined. It was only a matter of time after the Boston Marathon bombings before hate crimes against those of Middle Eastern descent began to spike. To me, this only re-proves the urgency of the issue of discrimination in America against people of Middle Eastern descent that this issue is still far from resolved. Since the article itself was posted only a week ago, it can be inferred that the opinions listed in the article are also quite current. These statistics on opinion are shocking, but what makes them notably so is just how recently these opinions were collected. An astounding 42 percent of responders said that they believed that Islam was more likely than other religions to promote violence. Considering the United States' history of prejudice against each of these social groups, it is remarkable that survey takers considered Middle Eastern Americans/Muslims the most discriminated-against group out of all of the abovementioned ones.Īdditionally worth noting is the survey takers' response when asked if they believed that Islam was more likely than other religions to promote violence. According to the survey, Americans felt that there was more discrimination towards Middle Eastern people than gays, Hispanic people, African Americans, and women. One of the questions dealt with Americans' opinion of the general social climate in the U.S. The survey asked several different questions regarding discrimination against people of Middle Eastern descent in the United States.

While some members of the audience may have hesitated at first, they quickly joined in the guffaws of their fellow onlookers at the ludicrousness of the scene.On May 7th, 2013, the Huffington Post published an online article dealing with the results of a recent survey given in America.

The one point in which Dunham may have stepped over the line was his five-or-so joke bit about Sandusky, with such material as “Considering where we are, I’m shocked to see people willing to pay $60 to see a little boy sit on a man’s lap,” and other homages to the Sandusky scandal of 2011. Touring with his new “Disorderly Conduct” show, he continues to bring chortles to the whole of the audience.Īchmed the Dead terrorist and his ilk all brought their A-game for the gathered throng, with such quotables as “silence, I kill you” and “If I went to Israel that red dot on my head would definitely not be a bindi.” Despite the crass, politically incorrect and potentially insensitive nature of their humor, Achmed and his fellow puppets certainly had a good understanding of the crowd, keeping them in stitches for the entirety of the performance. The famed ventriloquist and his puppet cohorts satirized pretty much every race, sex, and religion. Jeff Dunham made another appearance at the Bryce Jordan Center this year, and it was just as outrageous as last time.
