Help[Opinions] Re: Arabic names and other non-conventional names
in reply to a message by Denice
1. People in America can be stupid. Just look at some of the forwards that go around about Senator Obama. (http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obama.asp) People discriminate based off of a person's skin colour, accent, sex--why wouldn't a name be fair game?
I feel that this is a question that could be better suited to the Lounge, as Senator Obama's name is only peripherally related to the larger issue of anti-Arabic sentiment.

The lounge, ok! I just thought it was kind of opinion oriented but it is more political than most of the topics here. Yeah your right about Americans discriminating on race and sex--two things people have no control over, and names should fall under that category aswell, many people may say that Brack can just change his name but that is such an ignorant proposal, perhaps he likes his name, it has a beautiful and strong meaning. It's just sad that something like a name or race could jeopardize his chances at bettering this country and setting us on the right path.
