Thread Name: Arabic & African names in English songs & stories
Subject: RE: Arabic & African names in English songs & stor
No problem, Azizi. You're such a nice person really and so sensitive about discrimination that I just wanted to get the ground rules right before I stepped in. You've mistaken me for a bigot, three times in the past so I'm being extra careful.
So let me see if I've got this right.
You'd like us to come up with songs from America & England (White Folks?) that mention Arabic & African names (Coloured Folks) so that you can point out how stereotypical they are.
Well there are lots of Coloured English & Americans and an abundance of White Africans but you seem to have missed that.
So I've pointed it out to you as nicely as possible, just has you would point out such a discrepancy on my part.
