Although I don’t necessarily subscribe to these beliefs, I think for the most part Americans view Arabs as Muslims and terrorists. I know it sounds a little harsh to make such a sweeping generalization, but I think it’s important to note, too, the way Arabs have been portrayed in American media, movies, news, etc. What’s even more amusing is the way many Americans refer to all Middle-Easterners as ‘Indians’ or ‘Pakistanis,’ as if they were all from the same country!
