Here's an encyclopedia article on Orientalism. Please note the section on Edward Said because I think it's his definition of Orientalism that is of concern to you.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism
I read the article that was given and no where was there mention of Orientalism. I tried to google it with no luck. This is my assignment:List two to three characteristics of Orientalism. How may Orientalism and prejudice contribute to hate crimes against these groups? Any idea where I might begin?
