    Malcolm X by his lived experience was much closer to the issue and much more educated in the horrors we were inflicting on the region. Like I don’t even want to call it anti-arab racism as I feel that that tacitly supports the lumping of all the diverse peoples of the region into one racial category. This isn’t to critique Malcolm or defend MLK, just it’s worth keeping in mind that being right or wrong can be an outcome of our lived experiences and biases regardless of education.
