Well let me tell you that your land was not taken away by the US
it was taken by Israel. and the US is actually doing the favor to have those camps set up.

We didnt make u guys lose your land so why should we help you get it back?

I dont mean to sound harsh. but you have really really crossed that line..

you say it like "the us said we would have our land back"
like if were not makin good on a promise ..

if we didnt lose it,

then thats something you should talk to YOUR government about

Raerae - I am proud to from California. California rocks, I'd hate to live in the Midwest or East Coast (I don't do snow). People in California don't treat me the way people on this forum treat me.

glamdoll - you're getting yourself a lil worked up over nothing. I'm not saying I'm the only person who is treated poorly. I stated other racers being treated poorly earlier.

Shimmer - I guess it's hard for you to understand what I'm saying. So we can pretend you're what is making me leave.

glamdoll - The US did have a part in helping Israel become Israel and taking over Palestinian land. They don't need to help give it back, but when they fund Israeli terrorisim then do you really expect Palestinians to jump for joy in support of Israel?

I'd like to add that there's not much the Palestinian government can do because they don't have much power. Israel holds the power.

lmao I know what I've said thanks. No people in California don't treat me like this, because the Bay Area is very liberal. I'm aware that California is a part of America. Everyone just makes assumptions of what I'm saying so I'll let you guys do that.

I said I was American by citizenship and Palestinian by heritage ... if you can't understand what I'm saying and jump to your own conclusions and interpert what I'm saying then there's not much I can help you with.

You said people treating you badly is why you want to leave.
Then you said I'm the only person who treats you badly.
Logic follows that I am the one who is making you want to leave. I don't agree with you, but ok.

If you don't understand or know the situation don't try to solve it. And just remember that Palestinians are Christian too, and yes they are effected by Israel. Being concerned for the land of Christ should also have you concerned for your fellow Christians. (now I'm just making the assumption that you're Christian)

I dont see the "american" option anywhere in there.
I consider myself a Mexican American and its not a label
its what I am.


Thats because your Ethnicity, isn't your Nationality. Your filling out paperwork, it's assumed that your an American.

Being Polish isn't an Ethnicity. People in Poland are Caucasian. The're also Black, Asian, Arab, Hispanic, etc etc etc.

Mexican isn't really a Ethnicity eigther. If your Mexican, your Hispanic. So when strangers say, oh what a cute Mexican girl, they incorrectly using Nationality in place of Ethnicity. As chances are if your heritage was from any other Latin American country, they would say, "what a cute Mexican Girl" too.

I didn't say you're the only one, I said you're the only one I've encountered. I don't get hatred for being Muslim or Arab .. the general Muslim and Arab community gets it. The only LOCAL attack on Muslims was an Afghan woman killed in the East Bay for wearing hijab.

I don't like the general hatred towards Muslims and Arabs in this country. You say you don't think it's ok to openly be anti-Muslim but the fact is that the majority of this country thinks it is.

I thought you said that you were being picked on for being muslim?
what about trunkmonkey who was the only one openly attacking you.. shimmer never attacked you personally

and wen you say " the rest of the country thinks is ok"

so you have talked to every single person in this country and they told you "oh yeah being anti-muslim is ok"

really?

because yeah it must be true, there are NONE of our soldiers dying out there in the Middle east right?

none of our boys trying to bring democracy abroad rite?

yeah anyway

dont talk for the country as a whole because their is alot of ppl who try to change this..
there are ppl trying to change the hate against muslims, jews and many other groups that get hated on..
and u make their efforts seem non existant when you thrwo them in alont with "the rest of the country"

I can't stand it when people hyphenate their nationality. I'm X-American, I'm Y-American, I'm Z-American. No your not. Your an American.

I think it's okay, if you and your family maintain the traditions of that national culture. I don't know how else to explain it, but I have friends who strongly identify themselves as dual-cultures. They're maintaining Indian and American culture (for instance), celebrating the holidays and things like that.

My personal pet peeve is if someone identifies more strongly with the other culture than the US one, when they grew up in this country.

It's almost impossible for me to identify just as being from a state of the US or as US citizen. I haven't met a single soul who isn't sated with me replying that I'm from x state or from the US. They press and press it; it's really ridiculous, considering I don't really identify with East Asia/Korea.

Then really, you haven't experienced America as a whole have you?
I mean, I live here in Texas but I've lived numerous other places and experienced people from all over the country.

I'm certainly not trying to be rude and it is definitely important to be passionate about your beliefs, but maybe your attitude and the way you behave has something to do directly with how you're treated?

LMAO are you serious with this stuff?! Shimmer had to bring up the fact that I'm Muslim when it had nothing to do with this topic. She, as a Mod of this board, allowed those remarks to be made. I said she's the only person that feels the need to bring up that I'm Muslim anytime I make a comment. What does me being Muslim have anything to do with me not thinking it's a big deal that Ricky Martin flipped off the preseident?! Why does my religion have to be brought into it. Shimmer is the only person who ever does that constantly. Yes mulitple people on this board have made anti-Muslim remarks towards me but she is the one who likes to bring it up when it has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

No I didn't speak to every person in this country, but I guess you don't understand what I meant by that either.

Don’t throw it in my face that your soldiers are dieing. I didn’t ask them to come, they signed up for the army. I don’t think anyone was confused and thought they were signing up for summer camp. They are well aware that they could go to war and die. Not my fault.

And when we do have democracy in the Middle East … i.e. Palestine, we get shit for it because it wasn’t who America wanted us to vote for.
