A Canadian college student recently conducted a social experiment to see if people treated her differently if she wore a hijab - she noticed that people actually treated her more kindly and with more respect than when she didn't wear the hijab.

    Thanks for posting this. Much more interesting than outrage du jour. To bad the story didn't say what happened in the US with the same experiment.

    And she's right when she says:
    'People, culture and religion arn't concepts you can understand on your own. Rather it's through dialogue that we generate understanding and respect between people,' Rawhani concluded.

    She concluded that people went out of their way to be nice to her because they were probably trying to hide their bigotry?

    Sounds like she's the bigot.

    It does seem like you're damned if you do, damned if you dont.

    I've honestly got this image in my mind with women who wear a hijab or other like headwear that they are warm, wise, and very friendly. I don't exactly know how I got that feeling, but it's there, and it's been there since I was a child.


    Cause they remind you of grandma with her little head scarf wrapped around her head?

    granny didn't have a bomb attached to her ass.

    Guess that wasn't long ago, since hijabs are pretty new around here.

    I'm going to be nicer because i don't want her going off on me, complaining about racism or what have you. To me it always seems like somebody with an agenda. But, I had a nice talk with a nurse who was wearing one, complaining about our failing healthcare system. She was anything but shy, very directly spoken, so I soon got over my inherent bias with her. Really what somebody chooses to wear, I don't care as long as they afford the same privilege to other people. The niqab/burka tho, I just try to stay away from them - to me that's crazy town.

    I treat a person with a hijab the same as I would treat anyone with a: nose ring, blue hair, texas goatee, handlebar mustache, or bindi. It's a fashion statement, plain and simple, doesnt make them a good person or bad person just someone who wants to declare something without saying a word.

    Because that wasn't a woman, it was Father McDiddler with a bag over his head...
