One time when I worked in the deli we had a halal sign (because the chickens were halal) and my coworker told me to take it down because she thought it looked like an ISIS symbol I was just completely taken aback I guess when there are ignorant people confusing the name Isis and the terrorist group, one might have to go with the lowest denominator and assume the worse. Ironic though. Sometime those calling out others for being "special snowflakes" are just as much of a "special snowflake". On another note, I really wonder how often some folks are concern when they hear someone talk in Arabic. Having been born and raised in Southern California and hearing a mix of languages, it doesn't feel out of place. Hell, even the story of the someone concern over a fellow passenger doing math on a plane seem far-fetch but I wouldn't it past some people if they see something they're not familiar with. I'm from the south and its not that bad here either. As stereotypical as it is a lot of middle easterners run gas stations where I grew up. One guy even favored a younger Osama. Thick long beard but a baseball cap instead of the turban. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
