As dessi’s, who also happen to be Muslim, we are often the victim of stereotypes that are out of our control. This effects how we work, study, play, in essence how we exist our lives in non-dessi countries.
What are the stereotypes?
Is there a difference in stereotypes? How dessis are perceived in Europe vs America?
Are they realistic images or just figments of news propaganda?
How much are we, as a cultural group, at fault for creating these stereotypes?
I’m not just interested in the West but also in the middle east, south-east asia and eastern Europe. So anyone with some input….please do so.
