I have friends from every background. I don't fear anyone else's race, but I do fear terrorism........ big time! Living in NYC is great, but unless you are super human your body and mind remember 9/11 and certain situations freak me out.
It is a heart breaking thing what happened, and it is a heart breaking thing for people to now be looked at suspiciously because they may look like a certain background. My friend who is Syrian says her family live in a bizarre dichotomy of fearing the terrorists and people thinking they are the terrorists.
Some honest discussions are hard to have because we see something we don't like in ourselves. I am not racist at all, but I am scared of being blown up in a subway.
It is a complicated world with no easy answers.
