I haven’t had very much personal experiences with any Arab people, but given my limited first-hand experience, here are my impressions. Many times, such as in a store, I feel almost ignored when being helped by an Arab man. For instance, I went to test drive a car, and I took my cousin with me – who was male. The car salesman was Arab would only talk to my cousin, even though I was the one interested in buying the car, and I was the one asking the questions. He absolutly would not address his answers to me. I do not want to base my opinions of a group on the actions of one person, esspecially a car salesman, but this was just the most glaring example of being ignored by an Arab man. I have also been habitually interupted by Arab male students at school, as if what I have to say is nowhere near as important as what they have to say. My experiences with Arab women have been quite different. I have been in classes and study groups at school with Arab women and gotten along very well.
