    This is blatantly false and borderline fear mongering.

      I dunno. I was a young man on 9/11, and the general vibe seemed to be that anyone who wanted to hate anyone from the middle east was not facing any pushback.

          A lefty city in the PNW. Even there it was considered acceptable to talk mad shit on anyone from an Arab country

            Im not saying that didn’t happen but it’s very surprising, I never experienced that in Seattle. In Seattle academia/institutions, theu usually doubled down on diversity rhetoric, and I’ve yet to see anyone push back on it.
