Commerce considers labeling Arab Americans a disadvantaged minority
The Hill (via Drudge) ^ | 05/29/12 | Rachel Leven

The Commerce Department is considering naming Arab Americans a socially and economically disadvantaged minority group that is eligible for special business assistance.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) petitioned Commerce earlier this year to ask that Arab Americans be made eligible for the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), which helps minority entrepreneurs gain access to capital, contracts and trade opportunities.

...

Commerce is asking for comment about whether there is social and economic discrimination against Arab Americans, along with examples of it occurring. The MBDA will decide whether or not to accept the petition by June 27.

Gay wallets were opened over the ‘marriage’ comment - now Arab wallets will open.

Charming.

Who’s going to determine if you may well be a redneck?

Would future airings of the Beverly Hillbillies be banned?

What about Dukes of Hazzard?

Will this line of humor be punished as insensitive?

What about Druze? Would Bedouins be regarded as Arabs, or nomadic peoples?

They’re not look for a hand out. Unless it is to cut off an offender’s hand.

This is insane. However, I’d actually qualify to check the box.

Let’s not forget the horrible negative stereotypes exacerbated by such movies as Pete’s Dragon.

I’m beginning to think that white males are the only subspecies on the planet capable of executing any plan without “help”. What happens to the world when there all the white males are gone and there no longer is anyone to provide “help”, will the world revert back to the stone age?

As far as I am concerned if they are foreign born and now want to suck at Uncle Sam’s feet let them return to the land of their birth. This is crap pure and simple. The O administration wants Sharia as the law of the land and Allah as the only true object of worship. This is demonic any way you look at it

There’s also The Jooos! and Asians. We must all make many, many babies. Outlaw all contraceptives for white males, Jooos! and Asians. Some poor, underprivileged Arab’s handouts might depend on it.

Great, I think there are a few convenience stores in Alaska still owned by white people that they can snap up now.
