There are a lot of middle eastern folks in business, but I don't find them all mean.  Go to a different store..

Pretty much the entire middle east ... but for them hating is a finely practiced art.

You shouldn't generalize, not all people are against Arabs.  For example, I work with some and they're very kind people. \n\nBut I do understand your frustration.  Most people are simply ignorant and don't take the time to learn more about what it takes to really understand others, or in this case, foreigners.

First of all - there's a difference between nationality and religion. Two diferent things. You *cant* generalise that a particular race/nationality/religion behaves a certain way just because of the actions of a particular group e.g terrorists. It's just bizarre to say that people from a geographic region (which is what the Middle East is) are untrustworthy. That's as ridiculous as saying  all Americans are racist or all Europeans are snobs. (Btw, Iranians are Persians, not Arabs - Persians have a completely different culture language history etc). \n \n9/11 is a complicated issue that makes it all the more easy for each of us to compartmentalise other people into little groups and try to give them labels. No wonder politicians use fear, creating the "us" against "them" mentality, when in reality there isn't such a thing. The reason the so-called war on terror is such a dismal failure is because the US is trying to fight an invisible enemy -upon realising that was impossible, they decide to attack Iraq, a solid target that actually had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.  \n\nThe best people can do is to educate themselves - read more, surf foreign news sites to get different perspectives (e.g BBC, Le Monde, The Independant etc.), make the effort to mix with people who are different from yourselvf, ask questions and learn more. Then you'll come to the conclusion that there are good people in this world and bad people - and neither is determind by what country you come from or what faith you practise.

Because people in this world are stupid, fearful, and/or mean.  There is a lot more to it, but basically everyone who is expressing hatred of any kind falls into one of those three categories.  Stupid, fearful, or mean.

BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SENSITIVE.  NOW SHUT UP!\n\n\nhehe, just kidding.  I dunno why people are mean.  Who's mean?  On here?  They're bored and looking for a rise probably.

There are morons everywhere, even in Middle East.\nSimilarly, there are smart people everywhere, even in Middle East.

You have to understand, friend, that people are ignorant. An no, not just Americans either. We as humans just have simple and one-tracked minds. Some more seriously than others.\nWhen it comes to the Israel thing, I have a good friend from Egypt, but she looks African America (Black). Mind you, she's beautiful. When people see her, they smile, guys buy her drinks, really hang on her tit like she's so fine. Then when she says that she's Muslim, cats get nervous. I understand it, because I'm Christian. And listening to most American Christians, post-911 mind you, they are really delicate when it comes to Middle Easterners, believing they had hands in US terrorist attacks. But remember, turning the other cheek and ignoring stupid people is a much more powerful jester than to reply with anything else.

People are mean because being mean to another person makes them feel good about themselves. Mean and rude people usually have a low self esteem and they have to put other people down so that they feel good. Pity them and ignore them! =-)

It depends upon who considers them to be mean.  Have you, yourself witnessed their meanness?  My experience with grouchy or even mean type (which I really try to avoid) is that they are usually kind to me.  I think part of this is because I treat everyone with respect, and I am considered sweet.  I have a certain look and even gruff folk think they need to be extra gentle with me (trust me they don't) could that be the case with you?

I think they are nice people who respect God what ever our religious difference is. I also think most of the Arab world is religious and willing to make sacrifices for their beliefs. That is an admirable thing until it turns to violence. I think there are very few Arabs out there that give most of the Arab population a bad image. The Arabs I had a pleasure of acquainting with in my lifetime are open minded, respectful and simple happy people. I think they should work hard to get ride of the fundamentalists. As some one mentioned before they also had a lot in the contribution of technology by their based creations of alpha bets, mathematics and many more.

Middle Eastern Women are raised to want middle eastern men, so no.. Generally they are not open to dating non middle eastern men.. And the families usually do have a problem with it.
