I agree with this. Often times I see blantantly ignorant or offensive posts about the above mentioned group, and I routinely mark them for moderation. Unfortunately, I have yet to see any action taken against those posts. It's either because of the mods own ignorance about the topic (in which case we need a more diverse group of moderators) or their own preexisting bias. Either way I hope the mod team finds a way to stay fair to all kinds of groups.

Please don't assume that the mod team is ignorant or prejudiced when it comes to any ethnic, religious, or cultural community. This is a very well-educated, wordly, empathetic group of moderators which takes discrimination very seriously. I promise you that.

On a personal note, I studied Middle Eastern history for four years on an undergraduate level and two years on a graduate level. I also spent a year living and working in Baghdad.
