Some People See Me as Muslim First and A Doctor Second. That's How Prejudice Works

posted on: Feb 16, 2015

Recently, my wife and I have been searching for what could be our first home as we move from Boston, Massachusetts, to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, trying to figure out what’s important to us – hardwood floors, a second garage or an updated kitchen. The killing of three Muslim students on Wednesday added a new wrinkle: which neighborhood offers the best chance of me not being shot in the head for my religious beliefs?

While these events have given me great pause about our move, I also know that I am not immune from prejudice in a city as diverse as Boston.
