So much in one headline & picture…
“I too am Muslim”
I can’t.
😒
In her defense, she had just flown into England from Turkey, which is why she was wearing the scarf at the airport (and that pic is of her in Turkey). And an airport employee told her she had to remove her scarf and show her passport. Once the employee realized she was a white woman, they left her alone.
She wasn’t trying to pull a Rachel Dole Juice, but basically saying, if I was actually someone who wore the scarf for religious reasons that would have been 100x scarier.
I saw the headline expecting to start clowning her, but she wasn’t being extra… at least not this time.
It’s sad that it only becomes valid and newsworthy when a white woman says it b/c there are tons of reports of Muslim women being profiled and harassed and people just disregard it b/c it’s coming from a brown person.
