just wanna see what people think... sorry if anybody is offended.. It's not my intention to do so. I'll explain more later...

[*xcaitlinx*]

that they're arab?



are you trying to imply that if you see someone like that on the street, they're some kind of terrorist about to bomb the country? *cough* prejudice *Cough*

if you're not trying to offend anyone, why the hell would you create this topic?!

[*tweeak*]

that they are most likely islamic?

just like the other day when i saw a bus of guys in yamakas(err spelling) and girls in long sleeves and skirts in the middle of summer, i assumed they were orthodox jews?

[xbr0kensmil3]

that they're probably from arabia?

[Fallen Fairy]

They are people of a different culture just like me.
What else is there to think?

You know, just because the majority of you only think "Oh, from the Middle East" doesn't mean that everyone does. I have a few friends that would automatically think of 9/11.

Like she said, FIRST IMPRESSION. People who revert to Osama Bin Laden or Saddam probably can't help it. Seeing a Mulism may jog the memory of having Muslim attacks on the US, not too long ago. It's not necessarily prejudice, but it's not right, either.

[*paul murphy*]

I think that Sky News is a channel over here...oh, I mean, I think they're from the middle-east

[jue]

there of another culture/race then i am& there humans also.

[*jooleeah*]

They're from the Middle East.

[EddieV]

For the women, my brother saw them and thought they were ninjas....

[racoons > you]

actually, i thought the first person WAS osama bin laden, bu thten actually looked at it properly.

then thought he was just an islamic man, and then and islamic woman

I created this topic because i wanted to know how others think.. I watched this show last night, 30 Days. (here's a news about it 30 Days or go to theofficial website). If u saw it u would understand why I made this topic.. once again sorry to offend anyone.. but please dont take this the wrong way. I'm no racist, ignorant nor prejudice you can ask anyone who kno me, if u don't believe me...

Yes true! that's why I created this topic... curious on what ppl real 1st impression is. Despite the further facts they knew..

[banthisaccountno...]

They're Muslim.

[*chaneun*]

Eh, theres so much racism these days that some people just ASSUME that they're terrorists, how sad.
[not cbers, though]

omg i was watchign that too. that's why i was mad about the creation of this topic, as a matter of fact. i thought that you were one of those people that were like "um. terrorist!"

[The-Mach-Hare]

that they're nice enough to let you take their picture?

[hiromi]

That they're middle eastern? so?

[bfleenor]

i think their people who take pride in theirselves??? umm they are from over seas??

[sTaRLiTtE]

omg i was watchign that too. that's why i was mad about the creation of this topic, as a matter of fact. i thought that you were one of those people that were like "um. terrorist!"

ahhh.. a misunderstanding. ok then...

[Paradox of Life]

I'll admit I did think of terrorist, but I mean, who wouldn't? At least I'm honest, but when I thought about it, I thought that it was pretty unfair to assume something like that. Not to mention racist. It just doesn't make sense.

So now I think, someone who's faithful to their religion and culture?

[ApocalypseAelis]

Muslim/Islamic people.

[souldreamers]

my first thought usually is something like.. "oh he/she's Muslim". O_O about it..

[eli5e]

...there's not really much "impression" ..i guess "Muslim" ...but ...wat else would there be?

[miss barnes]

just regular people.

Exactly.

I wouldn't think much of it; At the worst, I'd wonder what people who ARE prejudiced would think...

My sister works at a company where the founder and boss are Muslim... One day some lady came inside and pointed out to the desk clerk that there was a couple of Muslim men coming towards the building and asked if they wanted the woman to call the police... The desk clerk was all like, "uhhh... that's probably our boss..."

[parallel]

actually, i thought the first person WAS osama bin laden, bu thten actually looked at it properly.

then thought he was just an islamic man, and then and islamic woman

Haha. Same here.

But I also thought of terrorist when I saw the first picture.
I didn't think much of the second. Just that it was a woman.
Then again. The first picture reminds me of the movie Team America.
Dirka dirka. Haha.

[KELLYYY]

They're...religious.

[*Azarel*]

For the women, my brother saw them and thought they were ninjas....

... how old is he?

Uh. I'm not great on first impressions because I can't make up my frigging mind. So yeah, that's a good thing. x]

[xaznxehgix]

muslim or arab~
hmmm....this is kind of an ignorant topic.

[dahding]

muslim or arabic...what am i supposed to think? that they're aliens from outer space toting giant nukes that will soon blow up the earth and then california's gonna break off from the earth and float off into the sun or something?

[maia_dc]

A TERRORIST! GASP.

No, no, just kidding. I just think "oh they must be religious or something... i wonder if they get hot in the summer?"

[emazing]

That they were from the Middle East.

[*lolita kitty*]

i just think their muslim, or hindu. i forgot which religion wears those >_<
and that their from the middle east?
its not like were gonna say "HOMIGAWD, ITS OSAMA, EVERYONE RUN", if thats why you made the topic.... i dunno... ^^

[yummy_delight]

i just think they're from the middle east. devout muslims perhaps?

maybe her purpose for creating this topic was for us to re-examine our predispositions toward middle eastern people or muslims.

[*mipadi*]

I'm pretty sure that one on the bottom is a ninja. Why he's in yellow clothing, though, is something I can't explain.

[5ayuri]

That they are islmaic/arab some where around there. It doesn't bother me..why would it though?

[whomps]

My impression? Nothing ?
I'd just keep on.. walking ?

Er maybe that they're Muslim ?

[Looow]

"Hey! He's middle eastern!"
Yeah.

[toodlepops.]

They're Muslim. period.

[*paul murphy*]

there of another culture/race then i am& there humans also.

I think that's a lie. You know why? Because you don't look at somebody and say "they are equal. Just like us" U look at them and just say "Very good." Do they look like aliens? No, so of course they're humnas, u don't have to say it.

[Winter]

People I usually see at the French supermarket.

[angel-roh]

First Impression.

"Ahh, muslims."

or.

"Who can't never take off their hats in public. That's sad"

[FilipinoFaShow]

...walk away nd don't say nuthin..jk

[lakerfever2476]

I think Islamic Arabs from the Middle East.

[technicolour]

People not from america?

[*suddenly she*]

i thought of that national geographic magazine cover.

[*tweeak*]

I'll admit I did think of terrorist, but I mean, who wouldn't?

um, I wouldn't. I don't associate Middle Easterners with terrorists at all, actually, and I'm being completely honest

[shortiiex]

i just think....alrighhhttt
i wouldn't really look at them that much....i don't really like to stare

[YourSuperior]

I think of Osama Bin Laden.

[mouse_3k]

I think it might be my boyfriend's uncle or aunt lol.

[glit_gal]

I see them as....people . It has never bothered me because I've had friends who wore those over there face and it doesn't make them any less of a person. The people I knew turned out to be wonderful human beings who really are compassionate.

[enyceXaddiction]

muslim?

[sTaRLiTtE]
