I just watched this video on Youtube which appeared in the suggestion column on the right and I'm pleasantly surprised by the responses. I think I'm downright shocked! Definitely has changed somewhat my views of these people.
What do you guys think? Are the Palestinians in the video representative of overall Palestinian belief regarding this or did the guys that made the video happen to bump into the more accepting types?
As they continue to ask them why they would allow it, many of them simply said 'the blacks are people too.'
Before watching this video I thought Palestinians were prejudiced regarding this, now I think the prejudices was from me to them.
My ex was Palestinian, her sister married (and later divorced) a black African guy, and I've met a couple guys, one here and one in the US, who are mixed Palestinian/black.
A lot of more devout Muslim people will care more whether the person is Muslim than their skin tone. In the US/Canada, a lot of Palestinian-Americans align with leftist movements, even if they are personally more socially conservative because those movements tend to embrace Palestinians as the zenith of the human condition, while the North American conservative movements tend look down on them as an insiduous outside force. Because of the former, there are probably more chances for younger Palestinian-Americans to date African-Americans due to a generally more-positive view of interracial marriage and also the shared narrative of exploitation and oppression that both groups have.
