The course readings from Week 5 brought to light how stereotypes are established in our society today.

This led me to think of the unspoken stereotypes many people have in the US towards Muslims. Although recently racism towards Muslims has become overt, it has been quite insidious since the early 90’s due to political issues in the East.
