why did elaine say to nancy about tamwar that was racist, i didn't hear
I am not liking Elaine this time around
What Mas said about Zainab washing her hands of their family made no sense
I can't remember exactly, but it was something derogatory about "strange" Muslim weddings. She also referred to Muslims in a very deliberate manner as "them". It was all very ignorant. Plus she didn't give a toss that she'd hurt Tamwar! :angry:Quote:

I'm team Babe all the way! :cheer:
Though of course Islam is not a race, so being derogatory to Muslims is not actually racist.
is it Faith-ist ?Quote:

There is confusion between race and religion
in other cases. Most people would use Anti-
Semiitic as being against Jews wheras Semite
covers a lot of Middle Eastern races inc Assryians
Arabs and many other. The name for Jewish
religion is Judaism.
We had some Diversity Awareness at work-
which obviously covered more than Race&
Religion . The more you know the more pitfalls
you become aware of. Most people do try to
avoid causing offence - but obviously not in
EE in this instance!
There is the word Islamaphobia - which might
be appropriate!
* religiophobic is such a word- very seldom
used.
Tamwar called Elaine xenophobic.
I didn't know what xenophobic meant to looked up and it is having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countriesQuote:
