This abc experiment shows how Americans stereotype against Muslim women. Each Muslim women has a wrap around their head and are labeled as "terrorists," and are told by the server that they "have the right to refuse to serve her." Surprisingly some of the Americans show remorse towards the actors behavior and stand up to him and speak up. In other cases some of the customers don't say anything and are in agreement with the actor. This shows that their has been a vast improvement in views against Muslim women and ignorance is not as prevalent as it used to be. These Americans showed sympathy towards the Muslim women and stood up for her as well.
When you see a woman with a veil around her head...do not assume that she is a terrorist, and don't treat her any differently than you would if it was a Muslim woman without a veil. Respect who they are as a person.
