Depends on the shade of brown. If we're specifically talking about people of Middle Eastern descent, then yes of course. Duh. Simon Baz's entire backstory focused on that. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. That's nearly a quarter of the population. Obviously they're not all terrorists, so we really need to stop with the paranoid suspicion and discrimination.
everyone in the US has had a time when they were picked on heavily.
go look at Japanese american's around ww2. people who were born in the US and never set foot in Japan - thrown into internment camps by the government just because of their race.
in comparison, getting called a bad names is a joke.

@kcjr: I don't think it's gone down...I'm brown, not Muslim or Middle Eastern but it seems to be going up, even if one is Hindu/Sikh, the perception is that they are terrorists.
The world is growing more racist towards everyone continually. I stopped coming to CV for a few months because I had seen that it was apparently acceptable to post a picture of a white girl crying with a black guy in the backround laughing titled "white tears". I find that racist and not one bit funny. Personally I identify as white because that's how society views me but that's not what I am. Look to the song by NOFX called Don't Call me White. I'm a mutt made up of various backrounds which has made me one of a kind the way I see it. I'll be judged by what I've done and not how I was born.
I can also say as someone from New York we still carry a very heavy heart for what happened on 9/11. R.I.P
One day, ill have you guys up to Calgary, and I'll take you up to a place I like to call Rundle. Where, essentially, white people are not allowed, and a mosque is on every corner.
If we are talking about people from the Middle East then of course. There's a lot of arabs and people like them because they are not all arabian and it is beyond obvious that every single one of them is a terrorist or some psychopath. So the society should really think on this descrimination that has been going on for so long because there are terrorists from any type of skin color.
Not really, 9/11 just put a spot light on the racism that was already there. See people never get outraged against anything until the people around them start making an issue about it. If you're a student of history you'd know that racism is actually not as bad as it used to be, at least we've now narrowed down the hate to just different skin tones and religions for the most part. Don't get me wrong, Racism is still a huge problem in the world but don't think just because the news focuses more on something now days, that its in any way new.
@buttersdaman000: *sigh* I hate racism. But people are just violent at partiesI was once scared to go to a hispanic party in fear of getting beat down just for being black.

Really? Where do you live? When I was Cali and NM, hispanics and blacks got along perfectly....though, it might have just been the area I was in..
@frozen: @buttersdaman000: As a black man I cant say that they're treated worse than us. I live in Nashville ive been to a hispanic party or two before but that day my friend just warned me
Where I live, racism has always been a major problem. Not so much different after 9/11 it got a little worse for a while after it but settled down. But the uk has always been xenophobic.
@humanrocket: Well I am originally from CA, so I know the mentality of White folks there. I agree it's a problem, but not an international or even national one like the discrimination against the Islamic and anyone who looks Islamic.

There's actually different kinds of white people here in L.A.
