Arab-Americans Say Feel Discrimination, Profiling
/ A poll of Arab-Americans released Thursday found that 21 percent
reported experiencing discrimination since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks
on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The poll, conducted by
Florida-based Bendixen & Associates, also said that 31 percent of
Pakistani-Americans reported discrimination over the past three years.
"Arab-Americans have experienced more discrimination and are over
three times more likely than the non-Latino white population to have
experienced racial profiling since the attacks," the survey found. In
the poll, 11 percent of Arab-Americans said they felt they had been
subject to racial profiling by authorities over the past three years,
and 16 percent of Pakistanis reported such profiling. A 2002 study
reported that three percent of whites perceived that they had been
subject to racial profiling by officials, such as police, during their
lives. [more
