*It dwelled deep into the perceptions of other cultures on a mass scale. These videos showed how racist ideologies continue from generation to generation, for some the foundation for racism is being built at home.

The best comment of the month:
From Osama Bin Everywhere by Bonnie
"Thank you for writing this blog! There is defnitely a prejudice that still exists towards muslims and muslim names in particular. I heard this one story where the airplane was full and security went in to arrest a suspected terrorist (Mohammed...) and they go to the seat and find out it is a baby! So there are many cases where this still exists especially in airports where people are being profiled by their name or looks. Another time I was in the airport with someone and they asked him what is his background. He said Iraqi, and they immediately took him in for questioning. This exists but we are glad that there are people like you who are exposing the injustice and hopefully people will start realizing that there are a whole lot more nice Osamas out there! :) -Bonnie"
