I understand but it is sad that you did not already know this. In all honesty, why do you think you needed that reality check?
I am sure that goes without saying. This sounds a little like "some of my best friends are (insert)."

I said that because
1- a big purpose of this show is for the world (or Americans) to see that they are NOT terrorists. I already knew this. I was in college on 9/11 and it was heartbreaking to hear my friends' stories.... yes my FRIENDS... about how they were being treated by the public. Friends or not, I've never once felt threatened by a Muslim and it's REALLY sad that many people have felt that way. I hope this show changes a lot of people's minds.
2- Many I met are wonderful people, and just like all races, religions, body types, genders, I met some shitty ones too.
Don't try to turn my post into something it isn't. I'm very interested in this show because it's showcasing a culture I was surrounded by for 6 years, and it was filmed in my own "backyard". Don't turn this into some kind of hate thread.
