A professor’s joke stigmatized a Muslim student he held power over

Evidence

The professor was referencing a terrorist training camp. By asking Aziz if he was there, this professor created the association of him with Islamic extremism and terrorism. This stigmatized Aziz in front of his fellow classmates by suggesting he was capable of being disloyal and dangerous to his own country because he was a Muslim. The power dynamic in this relationship prevented Aziz from registering a complaint against his professor because he feared it would impact his grade and status in the program, as well as potential job opportunities. — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 445
