Racism’s victims include ordinary law-abiding Muslim Americans, not just minorities

Evidence

Forever Suspect shows how racial identities are constructed over time and are continuously shifting and changing. By examining the experiences of ordinary, law-abiding Muslim Americans, our understanding of who experiences racism is turned on its head. In the chapters that follow, readers are asked to think about race not just as a black-and-white issue but as one that brings to light religion, as well as how it impacts immigrant groups and their children, who now also comprise the American landscape. — Saher Selod, Forever Suspect_ Racialized…, 82
