FYI. Dearborn High schools football team has been calling its plays in Arabic for years. Also, in the 60’s their racist Mayor wouldn’t let any blacks live in Dearborn. But he allowed Arabs. Just a little Dearborn history.

Damn, interesting. The CNN article talks about Michigan being extremely diverse today. I may be cold and calculating here, but I wonder if the Arabic take-over is better for the city's stability? Under more typical circumstances, and without the horribly racist 70s past it could've been BLM setting the standard. A Marxism vs. Islamism conundrum.
Any thoughts? I'm not even American btw :)

🤔 I think arabs are/were considered "caucasian" in America.

Am I incorrect?

Caucasian includes Middle eastern people, as it describes skeleton shape and not skin color

So what you are saying is, yes, I am correct that Arabs are/were considered Caucasian in the US.

I did not make any mention or inference to skin color.

I replied to a post referencing a racist mayor in 1960s America that disallowed black people from living in the city if Dearborn, MI, yet Arabs were permitted.

I inferred that the reason for this was that Arabs are considered "caucasian".

I did used the term caucasian, not white.

That being settled, surely the mayor did not perform a forensic morphology exam on every individual to determine whether or not they were to be considered black. (The Biden test had not yet been developed).

Tell me, how did the racist mayor determine who was black and who was not?

Um yeah, I'm not quite sure what this side quest is about. So yeah a racist mayor apparently managed to get away with this in the 60s. A bit earlier the U.S managed to do similar things towards the Irish and Japanese people.

I failed to understand your comment referencing skin color.

Now I have asked your opinion on how the racist mayor of Dearborn, MI, determined who was black.
0 ups, 2mo
The skin color thing was just something I had to add cos people often don't realize it's not a part of that method. I normally only hear BLM people on X say the word 'Caucasian', so it's like it has been revived recently.
How that mayor was thinking doesn't seem to be something that can be determined through an opinion. Perhaps CrockoCorner has read an interview with him or something. I know nothing about that story

Moral of the story: Keep religious nutters out of politics.

Those Palestinians you support are likely to do a lot worse than the Muslim city councilors of Hamtramck, Michigan whi merely banned pride flags on government buildings. They are a lot worse religious extremists than the Hamtramck Muslims. I wouldn't even call the Muslim city councilors "religious nutters" they don't even want symbols of their own religion on government property, they even said "we only salute the American flag". That goes to show you that conservatives were too hard on Muslims for Muslims are showing themselves to be more patriotic than Americans themselves. I think muslim immigrants are likely to pay respect to America because they are grateful to live in a country that's not a totalitarian dictatorship like Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc. Leftists like who where born in America are however ungrateful, call America a 'racist' and 'oppressive' country even though America is one of the most progressive nations in the world. And you don't realize how lucky you are to live in America and not an actual bigoted, oppressive country like Saudi Arabia.

Who’s been bombing Gaza non-stop for the last 11 months? Not Hamas.
