Evidence
SAIMA: I feel like whenever I see non-ĀMuslims that the first thing that comes to their mind when they see someone like meāĀ[may] not necessarily [be] terrorist, but itās a totally negative image. Like I really just want to walk into a situation where itās just a blank slate. Yeah, let me create my own image. Let me create my own identity. If you want to hate me or disrespect me at the end, let it be because of who I am and not because of your simplemindedness or your naiveness or your ignorance [or] from what youāve been told. ā , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_ā¦, 566
