Which immigrants are you referring to? Who is 'they' who hate the Arabs?
Racism is institutional in this country, and will be around for a long time. That is not to say that it can not be fought and lessened, which it can and needs to be, but just that it is so ingrained in everything that it will not go away overnight.
While you might despise racism, are you an active White Ally struggling along with People of Color against the racism inherent in the system?
