Park 51

The plan to build an Islamic community center near Ground Zero has turned into an ugly situation.  Many believe that the targeting of those of the Muslim faith is just a new channel for discrimination against people of color.  There are daily protesters and gawkers surrounding the site, which consistently reeks of tension.  Recently a video surfaced of a black man who was sent to work on the site was harassed on his way into the building by angry protesters.  “No mosque here!” They yelled at him, repeatedly.  He turned out to just be a carpenter who was, in fact, a Christian.  Does this remind you of SB1070?  People being categorized based on what they “look like.”
