WHAt's your first Impression on this...??, first thots.. Options

[miss barnes]

just regular people.

[[x]Mari[x]]

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.

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
