Tolerance




Surprisingly enough, it isn't such a big deal to wear a Jewish Kippah and pray to the Wailing Wall, but when you wear an African traditional dress that to ignorant Americans seems to resemble something "Islamic" even though it is not, the person is attacked and mocked and feared.
What is interesting that in recent studies in America show that the most discriminated ethnic groups or minorities in America and in order are African-American, Jews, Latinos and then Arabs/Muslims.
