Film Analysis: Reel Bad Arabs
Reel Bad Arabs

While viewing the movie, I learned that discrimination occurs throughout our everyday lives. The question is why it is occurring so much throughout the world and people are not being treated fairly just because of who they are. People judge others through how they are or look but, never by who they are. I believe if a person views this movie, they should have an understanding of how to learn to not discriminate or be prejudice towards not only Arabs but, every other race. Why is prejudice and discrimination occurring throughout our daily lives? As Arabs, there are many reasons for example; 9/11, beliefs and values, and culture/religion.
I believe it does not matter where you come from, people still discriminate and underestimate

    Discrimination in any case is a disrespectful and despicable. It doesn’t matter or is about color, religion social class, or birth country. In my opinion judging others, a person only because these characteristics only could came from an ignorant person. Wasn’t discrimination the reason which unleashed a World War? Additionally, wasn’t not discrimination the main reason of the Ku Klux Klan to execute another human being? It’s time to reflect and change these judgmental attitude. So, I agree with Shakan, found his essay and observation about this issue by Americans, very well…

    People may criticize you just because you don’t look like the nationality you are, or they speak with an accent. I was born and raised in the United States but people think I am Indian or Dominican because of my complexion and the way I talk. I feel like that is discrimination because they are judging before actually knowing me and guessing my nationality and culture before asking me. I feel like the “other” because people expect to put Hispanic on applications instead of American and because people come up to me speaking in Spanish assuming that I know what they are saying.…
