After 9-11, the perception of Caucasians of Islamic countries like Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan, etc, was set back. All Americans know right now is that ‘people who look like that’ or are ‘from there’ are scary. We need for all the peace-loving people of these ethnic groups to stand up and show their humanity right now because people are quite naturally afraid of ‘them,’ but we are also a hugely generous people and would like to embrace them as our brothers more than we want to fear them. Detroit has a high population of Arabs and Middle Eastern peoples. Many of the newly arrived tend to work in or own gas stations, auto shops and resturants – probably we see these people more because they are more in the public’s path. My own father emigrated to the States from Albania and opened a restaurant because it is an easier business to run. You also see a lot of Greek emigres do the same.
