"To be honest, they are are. Yes. I have but it mostly had to do with my daughter. )personally dont go out much or interct with them enough to know) But definitely have experienced racism eben in the mosque and the playground in front of our house. Even my daughter's school she was one of the only black kids so at first I didn't think it was racism. I realised later on," she said.

"Oh wait, even our 'Haris' like the gate man was racist to us when we first came. He wouldn't even answer salam. It was insane." she added.
