Call me Fey

we’re not all arab

not all ladies choose to wear hijab

some are more religious than others

stereotypes like child marriage are from culture and not religion

some are very open-minded, some are not, it’s not just because of religion.

some follow halal laws, some do not

it is not your choice to decide if someone is muslim or not

don’t make fun of people who say things like “mashallah” or “subhanallah” in conversation, it’s like saying “thank god”

hijab is most often a choice

most women enjoy wearing hijab

yes we do get hot but we look snazzy doing it

there are many different ways to wear hijab, one is not more valid than the other

yes ramadan is a very real thing and yes we fast meaning no food or water until sunrise to sunset

there are many lgbtq+ muslims

just about all of us hate terrorist groups like isis

Rarely attacks in open water unless provoked, more interested in other NPC creatures

No interest in attacking player character, rarely even encountered

Zero combat capability

I have this one white friend.

And - [mocking] I have this one white friend, I’m not racist. And like - where was I even going with this? [laughs] She’s not even my friend, she’s just someone I know. Okay, whatever, ‘kay, so this one white person that I know - [under breath] (I know a lot, my entire town is white.) Anyway, um, one day, she comes up to me, and she’s like,

“Jenny, what are you?” and, you know, that’s like white person talk for like, [sarcastic mocking] “what FUCKING country do you come from? Like obviously you’re not from here.”  And I’m like, “um, I’m Chinese.”

And she’s like “What? You’re Chinese?”

And I’m like, “Yeah, I don’t know why that’s so much of a surprise.”

And she’s like “Well, I thought you said you were Asian.”

And - [deep breath] [pause] there was a moment, a good minute and a half, where I left my body and ascended onto another plane, and I screamed into the abyss of that plane [pause] because she did not know that Asian and Chinese are… I, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t even… you know, whatever.

So, return to my body, from the [pause] other plane of existence in which I scream. A lot. And I tell her: “You know, China, China, you see, the country that I’m from, is a part of Asia.”

And she’s like, “Where’s Asia?”

[whispers] She asked me. Where Asia is.

And I say, “Well, Asia consists of, you know..” and I list the different Asian countries and she’s like “Whaat?”

And I’m like [sarcastically] it’s, it’s this thing, you know, that you learn about in like third grade geography. It’s a continent! And she’s like “A continent?”

And I’m like “Yes.”

And she goes, “so it’s not a country?”

I’m like, “No.”

And she’s like “What’s the difference?”

And I’m like [deep breath] “America, you see, has like North, Central, South, so like, take somewhere from Canada; they are North American but they’re also Canadian…”

And she’s like “I don’t understand.”
