A lot of fuss has been going on about Rachel Ray’s Dunkin donuts ads all over. What’s the big deal? It was because of the black-and-white scarf she wore in the ad while holding an iced latte. Critics said that it looked an Arab terror person. For me, what were the critics thinking?
I feel that we are taking this stigma in terrorism too far. I am not undermining what happened at 911, but then, a scarf? This is a free country the last time I checked, we can wear scarves of whatever design as long as we want. They say that it was what Arab people wear when they are on a jihad.
I doubt if Rachel Ray bought that from an Arab terrorist disguised as a scarf retailer. It is bad enough that we terrorism threats, but scaring ourselves?. We are creating our own ghosts. And our labeling has gone too far. I say, give it a rest.
