trust me, it has been.

these politicians don't understand. After 9/11 every foreign person has been subjected to racial abuse, especially the Sikhs because of their turbans. Even their places of worship have been attacked.

However, the media don't want to focus on this, they choose to focus on muslims. Muslims who never intergrate or hardly socialise with non-muslims so have never really felt the racial tensions.

I have been subjected to loads of racial abuse since, even my brother has been bottled 2 days after (cause his girl friend is white). Everytime they come on TV moaning about their Hijabs, jobs, cartoons, islamophobia crap it is us that get exposed, not them, as they only socialise in their closed communities.
