This Monday I got told wearing my scarf made 1 or 2 people 'feel unsafe' at work. These people conflate being Ar@b with being extrem!st. I have not stopped wearing it. I will not hide who I am, nor my P@l-stinian roots. (Info on the scarf and watermelon on my twitter twitter.com/FrostyPupper...) - ThreadSky

I have a few keffiyehs I got from Hirbawi before they had to stop production that I wear in solidarity and even I get angry looks from people sometimes when I'm out and about. "it's the terrorist scarf" is such a fucking brainless thing people believe. Never apologize or hide from these freaks.

That's... really weird. Especially if you're wearing it like that, since that's not the TV Arab Style.

Maybe you should complain about people wearing crosses and cite the crusades...

Im assuming you mean as in the headress style? Even then wtf right? And yeah I have nrought up other religious and non religious cultural attire at work, it stopped them from pressing further

Just be careful dude; some people ARE petty enough to try to get folks fired for this kinda thing, we saw it with BLM and Ukraine too…

Thanks for looking out! It could go that far, they'll have to prepare for a lawsuit; many here in Canada are offering free or discounted services for that exact situation
