ABC babe puts on hijab, discovers Americans still friendly

ABC's Bianna Golodryga Goes Undercover to 'Expose' Secret Muslim Bias in America, Doesn't Find Much

ABC on Friday did its best to find secret discrimination against Muslims, sending Good Morning America's Bianna Golodryga undercover in a hijab (Islamic head covering). Yet, despite the misleading graphic, "Life Under the Veil: TV Experiment Exposes Bias," the morning show didn't find much bigotry.

Late in the segment, Golodryga admitted, "Overt discrimination is the exception." When an ABC producer tried the experiment in New York, the correspondent acknowledged, "Everywhere, people went out of their way to be friendly."

#8  Phobias are usually irrational fears or hatreds. In the case of the MFM, it's not irrational but brought on by their own unceasing irrational bigotry and false sense of superiority borne by their ignorance [as amply demonstrated by the article above].

#7  Frank, that just proves that you are a reporterphobe.
Which will probably be the next made up phobia in the news.

#5  To do justice to this article, put up one of the correspondent's glam shots. What is stupid about this "expose" is they put some babe in the hijab. We're primates. We are deferential to good looking female primates even if they are wearing some scarf. Of course everyone was nice to her.

Hell, half the people probably thought she was a nun from some liberal sect.

#4  AHMAD: It's part of their Muslim identity. They are true American-Muslims. And they exercise their right as an American-Muslim and they decide to wear it.

Unlike some Muslim countries, where they wear it...or else.
"Religious police", anybody?

#3  How about they dress up as an American tourist and have a go at walking around Mecca. Or dress up as a vicar or sadhu, and take a stroll around Riyadh, for that matter.

#2  Next, put on typical American tourist clothes and walk down the streets of Teheran. Nah, they won't be doing that.

#1  Soo.... if you treat them with respect, you are a bigot. If you shun them, you are a bigot.

Fuck these "news" reporters. Worthless pieces of shit. Ship 'em to Iran and let 'em see bigotry in action.
