1. My new Boss So, there is clearly a hierarchy of hometown heroes, huh?.....
2. So long, southern drawl New Jerseyans speak so quickly, I’m being forced to recalibrate my brain. In Alabama, things are slower than molasses running uphill in winter.
3. Breakfast blunders Last week, I was having lunch with a new colleague. He asked me if I was familiar with Taylor ham. I asked, “Taylor who?” He about choked and fell off his chair! I guess I’ve got a lot of eating to do.
4. A place for all I appreciate the diversity I’ve found in New Jersey so far, which promotes acceptance and tolerance. Down in Alabama, suspicion of outsiders is common and on multiple occasions, I faced discrimination in the deep South. After all, I am a Muslim Arab, and according to a wide swath of public sentiment — driven by far too many misinformed media pundits — all Muslim Arabs are assumed to be terrorists. The assumption unfairly ignores the 1.7 billion Muslims who only desire love, peace, freedom and safety. Needless to say, I look forward to my new home in the Garden State, a much more colorful rainbow of humanity.

“a much more colorful rainbow of humanity.”
Don’t let that ‘rainbow’ put one between your eyes.
I live in LA and this guys is full of crap. No one talks like that.. “Thems izz fightin words?” Really? “Where you from boy?” Nope! What in the heck is he talking about?
I doubt that dude lived here for more than 30 minutes, much less 33 years.
You just defined Mehmet Oz. The Islamist carpetbagger from New Jersey who is trying to become a Pennsylvania senator.
Oz will try to convince you that he is a “moderate” Mooslimb. There is no such thing. Oz WILL push for Sharia Law. His main loyalty is to Turkey. He will lie, cheat and steal to attain power. The Koran allows lying to infidels.
So the choice will be electing a frail democrat communist Fetterman or the odious knife-in-the-back Muslim Oz.
Two points, one political one human.
1. I had no problem with this article but then why did point 4 become an endless essay about Muslims, discrimination and diversity? Just seemed like an excuse for a diversity lecture. How long could this person have lived in Alabama and how quickly could they know that all people in NJ don’t discriminate?
2. I hate this stuff -
“He asked me if I was familiar with Taylor ham. I asked, “Taylor who?” He about choked and fell off his chair! I guess I’ve got a lot of eating to do.”
I might consider making it illegal to be That intolerant over food choices. /s
Seems like a huge exaggeration to me.
LOL reminds me of Chappelle and the Juicy Smolay, “Are you that faggot from Empire?”
They would never say that. It sounds like something that I would say.
PURE PROPAGANDA!!!!
Right? That’s okay though. Let them talk all the smack they want about the Gulf Coast. It keeps the trash away...
Yes this sounds quite made up. Here is an example:
“Where’u from, BOY?” Knowing that “boy” was meant as a racial insult, I replied, “Excuse me, but I’m not a boy.” His face turned red, then he angrily said, “Them’ziz fightin’ words.”
I spent six years in Alabama and never heard anyone talking like that.
Then this:
“Down in Alabama, suspicion of outsiders is common and on multiple occasions”
Oh yes, if this is true why were many of my friends from India, Brazil and Nepal?
This article looks like nothing more than an attempt to tar and entire group of people as “racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe” which is about all the Democrats have left at this point.
> ...why did point 4 become an endless essay about Muslims, discrimination and diversity? <
I guess that’s a journalistic requirement these days. Everything has to be linked to discrimination and diversity. For example, nothing is purer and cleaner than mathematics. Yet we are seeing tons of articles saying math discriminates, and is not diverse enough.

Every muzzy practices taqiyya, so you can toss any muzzy assertions of being a ROP.
Not per this administration. In fact, Muslim Arabs are actually coddled and given more protections than most.
It's the white male who we are told is public enemy number one.
“In north Jersey it’s called Taylor Ham.”
I believe you are correct; I seem to remember that. I am from Paramus NJ, Lived most of my life there. Now a transplant in NC. Locals spot me as a Yankee, as soon as I open my mouth. LOL
Good riddance. And he probably never learned LA stands for Lower Alabama. Hey from Dothan!
peosi_junkie wins the internet today
Now now there ARE good things about NJ like for instance it is not very big so it is easy to escape. Sadly you can’t go north or south without landing somewhere equally bad and if you go west you have to leave Philly far behind.
Every article includes Taylor ham vs pork roll debate, but I don’t hear people talk about it in NJ
Enjoy your life! Alabama will manage to carry on without you!
We're told that only one percent are terrorists. Maybe that's accurate, maybe not. But for purposes of argumetn, let's accept that number for the moment.
That's 17 million. (1/100 0f 1.7 billion.) Taht is a YUGE force.
He drove through the Florida panhandle???
