Do Arabs get discriminated for looking like Mexicans?

[Jon96]

I prefer Mexicans though, because they are not culturally Islamic and we speak the same language so ease of communication! I do like a lot of Levantine food though, so in the culinary department it is a tie, yes.

If anything the Mexicans would get more discriminated in the US for looking typically Arab (if they do), not the other way around.

As an atheist, do you find it easier to connect with those orthodoxic/traditional 'cultural Christians' (like most Spaniards) or people who are 'culturally Muslims'?

Most Arab Americans are Christian –63%– compared to 24% Muslim and 13% of other or no religious affiliation.

You understood what I meant man, of course I know that there are Arab Christians, and I also know that most of the Arab diaspora that immigrated to the Americas was Christian, even today there are politicians of Arab-Christian origin in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico I imagine that they also exist in the United States, but one cannot disagree that the religious factor (Islam) is one of the main reasons for discrimination against Arabs, mainly in Europe.

Arabs don't look like Mexicans.

When, pray tell, are Mexicans "discriminated against"?
Mexicans behave differently than Arabs, in the US, in general. Arab-Americans aren't nearly so annoying or troublesome.
When Mexicans grow beards, they can, in fact, resemble Arabs.

Arabs are discriminated against because of their shitty religion. If they were Christians, 90% of all the prejudice that people have about them did not exist. Of course, religion is not the only reason, but the fact that you are a Muslim helps a lot.

Not only for their religion. Arabs (and with Arabs I include what in Spain we consider Arabs, ie any brown person from Africa and Asia, predominantly Muslim but not necessarily) also are discriminated by their behavior, hygiene, habits, etc.

I'm an atheist but somewhat "culturally catholic" so clearly the former.

If you think that the majority of Spaniards are traditional christians I think you are going to be disappointed haha. by orthodoxic you mean orthodox?

We are. Not going to the church the sundays does not make us not traditionally Catholic. What about the festivos, the Holy Week, the Christmas etc? what about the entierros, the misas, the weddings? even atheist go there.
Of course we are traditional Christians.
