Re: Representation of Black People in Hollywood Films

I guess I should point out that her reasoning that I had it better is because I'm "basically white" (since Arabs and Middle-Eastern people often check off "white" on the census). Well…I have to say someone should have informed the white people I grew up with of that…

I'll admit though that I might have gotten a bit annoyed. I ended up telling her that even if she thinks that's the case, the issue of representing white women/black men couples on TV, for example, is still far more controversial than the reverse even though they're far more common in real life. And it just devolved from there….

But…yeah…you're right that it is a bit simplistic to go by pure numbers. So it probably isn't a very fair point to bring that up.

That's a really awful and ignorant response. In the past ten years, there's been a lot of racism against Arab-Americans and a lot of hate crimes committed against them, and it's really not right for her to dismiss that.
