This made me feel bad for Arabs traveling, must be hell... and I felt that first-hand. Also been taken by the security to do double checks when with my fam and singled out for checkups. Ridiculous. Maybe some girls think I’m Muslim based on my face and don’t like me based on these theories??? I don’t think I look that arab now, but who knows lol... I’m obviously not Muslim lol. I don’t personally think Arabs are bad looking... not sure why I hear that stereotype here, but not true in my experience, it’s like seeing an ugly white man and generalizing all white men to be ugly... or better yet, basing your attractiveness of a “race” of people based on disagreeing with their political or religious (or both) agendas.
