Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic primary in Michigan
You reckon they will try the “teaching arabic numerals at school” thing again?
Average americans don’t have a doctor they trust with a name like his
Mainly because average americans can’t afford having a doctor
That’s my senator!
(Tanis lives in Oregon. She gives not one fuck about her location and whether it relates to other candidates representing her. She is not having of fucks, she is fuckless.)
I loved you in Borderlands.
Patricia Tannis killed someone for an office chair.
Tanis Nikana is at least twice that sane. If that can be quantified.
2 office chairs?
Potentially two people and one office chair. It’s rather unclear.
I liked her more in Letterkenny
Hey you’re that half-elf from Dragonlance
Damn, true tho. Also it’s Michigan, a lot of michiganders know some Arab-Americans. This is like someone running for a New York office being criticized for being named Moses Goldstein. It’s hard to find Arab names scary when you know an Ahmad and he’s a chill dude
Most Arab and Middle Eastern peoples are, in my experience, pretty damn good people.
But really that applies to everyone. Most people from most places are pretty damn good people.
Hot take: immigrants are on average better people because they’re willing to make difficult personal sacrifices, outside their comfort zone, in a different culture, to help their family.
Adding they also feel social pressure to be a “model immigrant” or “one of the good ones” to racists.
And that there are spectrums everywhere in life
In the southern half, maybe. The southeast, more likely. The northern half - don’t count on it. Looking at the polling I’ll be gobsmacked if he wins any jurisdictions above a line from grand rapids to Saginaw. And there’ll be a lot of red on that map below that too.
Yes, I know land doesn’t vote, but there’s a lot of combined votes to offset with diminishing populations and plenty of voter suppression in the big SE cities.
I remember kindly the doctor who cared for my kid when they were a baby. I cannot pronounce or spell his name, but he was great.
Shout-out to Mena Abrahim, who I trust not with my own health but with my kids, which is more important than me.
His name or how he looked (except his resemblance to a good friend of mine) was never of import. He was a good doctor, still is although we are fortunate enough to not see him too much anymore. Which is kinda sad, unless you’re a PCP, you’re there for people when they’re suffering, and then you disappear off their radar. But when I get a sinus infection, I’ll hit him up.
ist Osama like the „jack“ of the arabic world?
Every name mentioned here is super common. They’re just written in a scary foreigner language from the Quran instead of a white people language like… Uhh… Hebrew…
Nope. It’s not rare, but it’s not like every Arab knows an Osama or anything like that.
I don’t know a jack so it still checks out
Say his name!
I learned how to say my Drs name, and everytime I’d call to schedule an appointment the tech would have no idea what I was talking about. I had to call her by her first name.
Similar problem only my doctor is Romanian.
No I only trust apu nagasanimaelapima
Naga…. Naga…. Nahgonnaworkhereanymore
Amazing
I have no idea what this means.
Man needs to hit them with a full on Kyle Fletcher promo. Say his full name
My psychiatrist is Faisal. My PCP is Rustambir.
Where does one get Rustambir PCP? I’m asking for a friend…
In my case Peach Tree Health, Sacramento.
Shit PCP grows on trees down there? No wonder why Americans are so crazy.
