Think America is a multicultural society, accepting and tolerant of all cultures? Think again. This moving video lifts the lid on the way Americans really treat Muslims.
ABC has set up a social experiment where a traditionally dressed Muslim girl is refused service in a store. The reactions of the customers who witness this injustice tell us a lot about the attitudes of modern Americans.
It starts out negatively, with a man commending the store keeper for his bigoted behavior. But it isn’t doom and gloom. Many other witnesses are vocal in their disapproval.
While the early parts of the video are disgusting, the later parts give me hope. From the footage we see it’s the older customers who are so blatantly bigoted. When young people speak up it makes me think perhaps Americans are evolving into a more accepting bunch.
I can dream, can’t I?
