They can all go to hell. They didn’t stand up for the USA on 9-11. They are Muslim loyalists and that’s the way it is.

Here is a notable excerpt from this article:

“But as the ADC is surely aware, only a quarter of Arab-Americans are Muslim; 65 percent are Christian.”

I guess it depends how much money Arab Americans pay you.

Everyone is disadvantaged in some way. Get over it.

Have to tell of an incident which led to something much larger and criminal in or about 1998. There was a company operated by arabs which sold computers and computer parts. During the day the business sold the computers and computer parts. During the night the employees (a number of greater than 50%) were engaged in burglary of other computer stores within an approximate one hundred mile radius. The sold computers (at said business) would not be properly set up for plug and play and would have to be returned to said business for adjustment. Remember this is pre-911. The technical staff would adjust the computer to operate as was advertised once the computer was returned. If the customer wanted their money back, since the computer was advertised as plug and play the business would take 20% of the original purchase price as was this businesses policy. It is unknown how many customers were taken by this scam. The police eventually traced the computer store break-ins back to this location and eventually those involved were arrested. To say most arabs are here to be law abiding is probably a stretch. To say all arabs are here to be criminal is also a stretch. arabs have a different mindset than Americans. arab work on assumption, in more cases than not, that Americans are pushovers and easily manipulated. This is one incident personally known of prior to 911. When all was said and done this was an arab business outed as a criminal enterprise.

If you have to put a hyphen next to “American,” you ain’t.

Long gone are the days NR would actually have the guts to ask whether Arab-Americans are a good thing to import. If they do that they won’t get invited on Fox or George Will’s house.

The liquor store down the road, the gas station, the motels along the highways, they are operated by ragheads of some sort, who got money from the government to buy those business, and they keep them for a while and sell them to another raghead who got another government loan to start a business, and they say these people are disadvantaged? Disadvantage me.

The ones I’ve met have all been doctors, engineers and small business owners, all of whom appeared to be doing well.

...the Commerce Department is considering a petition to classify Arab-Americans as a “socially and economically disadvantaged group"...

Of course, let big government give them the privileges of Affirmative Action, etc., and they'll be voting Democrat happily ever after! (Sarc.) This is the Obama Commerce Department, after all.
