I Thought My Ivy League Degrees Would Protect Me From Bigotry. I Was Wrong.

My experiences are not isolated. A recent study in the American Journal of Bioethics found that 24 percent of Muslim physicians have experienced religious discrimination in the workplace.

This election year has made it harder to be a Muslim in America. Republican front-runner Donald Trump has advocated for registering Muslims inside the United States and banning those of us who reside abroad. Unfortunately, the majority of Republican Party members agree with him and the number of hate crimes against Muslims have tripled in recent weeks. Yet, I also recognize that Muslims are just America's newest "outsiders." Throughout our history, Catholics, Irish, Italians, women, African-Americans, Jews, Latinos and gays have all been targets of nativist fear-mongering. Many of these groups still face significant prejudice today, and hospitals are not immune from such discrimination, whether implicit or explicit.

Nobody likes Harvard graduates.

 

Because of producing some graduates like them: Cruz included!

Well, she could have stayed in her own shithole of a country and been stoned to death for driving a car.

 

Why are all the the homeless found at Harvard Square in Cambridge?

Cause that's where Harvard graduates go.

 

Seems she doesn't understand "bigotry".

 

She should go experience real bigotry and racism and go back to the middle east.

 

I didn't see her quoted as saying she's not fortunate to be here.

When people jumped over the Berlin Wall we welcomed them.

 

If you dress and look like a bigot, prepare to be treated accordingly.

 

The people jumping over the Berlin Wall weren't pissing and moaning about chickenshit while attending Harvard. This numskull broad has the world by the ass and thinks she's being oppressed. Another example of what ingrates the average 21st century brown skinned immigrant has become.
