Well ignoring the fact that the skin colour of middle eastern people would also be white and it`s more the beards/clothes that make them noticable (2 entirely optional things by the way) it`s well worth mentioning that stereotypes exist for a reason...

Yes, but that doesn't mean that societal circumstances shouldn't be taken into account. For example, there are many white supremacists who put down blacks as lazy and praise Asians as being hard-working, completely ignoring the circumstances, like how many blacks were slaves and even afterwards were treated poorly which obviously facilitated poverty, while there was a blanket ban on Asians from immigrating for a while, so the Asians that did come were already well off, which meant that they generally did not become poor. I'm saying this is the same. We don't look at the circumstances surrounding the situation thoroughly enough.

What do people's racist views or lack thereof have anything to do with this specific problem? I don't usually see racist people going to other countries blowing shit up in the name of their racist views.
