YES. And how we’ve memory-holed the severity of the post-9/11 Islamophobia. I was horrified by it at the time, clearly remember being horrified, and was •still• shocked at the brazen bigotry when I recently saw a collection of “best of US political cartoons” from 2002.

@inthehands @BlackAzizAnansi oh yeah. Brown was *definitely* the new Black in 2002.

@inthehands dude, I am still horrified by era. I remember being in a cab in NYC in 2006. The driver was Sikh and had sign on his dash that "Hello, I am Sikh". Heaven knows why? /s

A friend of my mom riding with me then starts going about how easy it would for Muslim terrorists to take over the city. Because they are all cab drivers apparently. That's why the cab driver has to put up a sign. For people like her.

BTW, I use dude for all genders. It's the 90s in me.
