I watched a video on YouTube showing discrimination of American Muslims called abc Primetime - How Muslims Are Treated In USA. ABC sent an actress dressed as a Muslim into a bakery to see how people would react to her being denied service due to her religion. During this experiment 12 people defended the girl saying the bakery was racist and discriminatory and they would never go back again. But, 6 people told the employee that he was a good American doing a good job and one man even gave him a thumbs up twice. What seemed most shocking to ABC was that 22 people just stood by and did nothing as if they didn't agree with a Muslim shopping their but just didn't want to say anything. Discrimination has been increasing since 9/11 because what originally started out as probably a few thousand discriminators grew to probably more than a few million because of constant attacks by Al-Qadea and other terrorist groups and people blaming moderate Muslims for radical actions. I think the best way to reduce discrimination is by getting rallies with popular and famous celebrates talking to people against discrimination because allot of the time people listen to celebrates and they tend to be more likely to copy them.
I thought this was a good example of Prejudice and racism aswell. This video was truly astonishing in how people reacted to the Muslim woman and the way she was being treated. You have a good idea because celebrates do tend to have alot of influence but ask yourself this question, what if the celebrate is prejudice against muslims? But for the most part good job Josh!
ReplyDeleteI posted something just like this and its just sad to see people wont even serve food to the Muslim people. I thnk all this stuff people are doing is horrible because they are truely Americans, they live here freely and legaly. This was a good video Josh, it was alot like mine.
ReplyDeleteYou have great insight Josh. I like how explained yourself clearly. You made this easy to underdstand. I like the video you posted it puts discrimintation in a better prospective.
ReplyDeleteIts a good example of how people react to others religion. If they accept it or if they believe its something with the terrorists. That others will stick up for muslims or just stand there and watch.
ReplyDeleteJosh, Great job summarizing the video! Also, you gave an interesting solution for decreasing discrimination (celebrities). Nice job thinking outside the box!
