Do I or not?
A conversation in the car with my sister today went down like this:
My sister, ” I can’t wait for most of those grade 12 Arabs graduate and leave!”
I said, “why?”
She said, “They are so backwards and are fobs.”
I said, “Ahh, you mean they keep saying they hate living in Canada, that white people suck and they are the best, and they can never or don’t know how to accomodate this new style of life?”
My sister frantically said, “Yes! How did you know?”
I sighed and said, “Nothing will ever change.”
She said, “But you don’t even like Arabs!”
I said, “No no. I only don’t like the ones that will never change and think they still live in the desert somewhere. I like Arabs who are open minded and living life normally. Very rare, but at least I don’t hate anyone. I just don’t like to associate my self with them.”
She said, “I don’t either! I can’t wait till they leave. They are so mean to me and all they do is gossip!”
I said, “Yah well. Welcome to the club.”
I think being an Arab is cool, but hating where you live now cause you immigrated to here is not cool. Just learn to live life and make the best out of it, eh?
