If there’s one thing I’ve learned from living in the Arab world my entire life, it’s that being part of the same marginalized “category” will not protect someone from prejudice by people in the same category but different “section.” For example, being non-white doesn’t make one immune to discrimination from other non-white people. This is why there’s been an emphasis on the problem of anti-blackness specifically in recent years, instead of the more general term of racism: black people often face a specific type of discrimination from other non-white people. Arabs are, unfortunately, no exception to this.
