Question
How may orientalism and prejudice contribute to hate crimes to the muslims and Arabs
Answers
Ms. Sue
This isn't science. It's social science or humanities or sociology.
Orientalism is the study of Asia -- but this term is rarely used among scholars who study prejudice and hate crimes. In my opinion, hate crimes against Muslims (note capitalization) and Arabs stem primarily from 9/11, other terrorist acts, and the continued conflicts in the Middle East between different Muslim groups.
