Why????

Since the tragedy on September 11 that make the descrimination of Middle Eastern has greatly increased in Australia and US. There are many difference way of descrimination: religion, language, and the difference in theire appearance. The descrimination  seems to be seen most commontly through visual appearance. The religion that account for the majority of Middle Eastern is Islam. Religioua descrimination is the acting ones of the prejudiceagaint a person beliefs, ritual, costums, and values their particular religion hold. The Example of religious descrimination asociated with Middle Eastern people include descrimination towards woman who wear a hijab. 

Visual descrimination is the easiest for some one to descrimonation. Because appearance is readily available, a person can make their prejudice feelt quikly without needed knowledge of anythingelse. and the another example of the visual descrimination is taking action upon clothing and dress. The way one dresses says something abouth them whether they are aware of it or not.

Finally descrimination can also based on the language, the way we speak can carries a nation of place or area where we from. It can also carry with it an idea or procenceived notion, such as the Southern drawl of South East US people is associated with slowness or natives. A problem also ocurs with the language descrimination is misinterpretation. there are thousands of languages with  thousands af dialects throught the worlrd. So, when an individual hears a language, accent, or dialect theat they interpret as Middle Eastern,  they may be very mistaken. Because of these misinterpretations people may be decriminated against who are completely to the area, faith, and culture of those from the Middle Eastern
