I see a LOT of Middle Easterners at my local Wal-Mart and Kroger. Was talking to two female Coptic Christian Egyptians about a week ago while they were our checkers.
I met a Christian couple from Iraq at my Walmart. They spoke to me in the produce section because I was wearing my “I am N” t-shirt from Voice of the Martyrs.
A friend of mine was in Wal-Mart with his then 5 year old daughter. She saw two women in burkas, with only their eyes visible. She turns to her dad and said “Daddy, are they ninjas?”
