I read an article how Muslims had to adjust their living styles when they first came to America. One woman described how when she first got to the airport many people were staring at her because she was wearing a dress and head wrap that covered her whole body except her face. One person said, "I expected people to say, 'What is this terrorist doing here? We don't want your kind here,' " said Woldt, a 22-year-old blue-eyed Catholic, recalling her anticipation before stepping into a local barbecue restaurant. "I thought I wouldn't even be served." I don't understand how people can be so judgmental towards someone only based on their appearance. It's not like you know someone's personality traits or background just by looking at them. I know I do this sometimes, though, but I'm going to work on that because I know I don't like when people I don't know judge me. I think it is just hard for people to adjust to the changing world around us, and the fact that people are coming to America for many reasons. I think overall, they are helping our country because they are exposing us to new cultures and such.
