    Damn, true tho. Also it’s Michigan, a lot of michiganders know some Arab-Americans. This is like someone running for a New York office being criticized for being named Moses Goldstein. It’s hard to find Arab names scary when you know an Ahmad and he’s a chill dude

      Most Arab and Middle Eastern peoples are, in my experience, pretty damn good people.

      But really that applies to everyone. Most people from most places are pretty damn good people.

        Hot take: immigrants are on average better people because they’re willing to make difficult personal sacrifices, outside their comfort zone, in a different culture, to help their family.
