I just moved to New Jersey from Alabama. Here’s what shocked me. (Spot the propaganda)

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.

I was forced to live in NJ for two years. Great food and very decent people where I was. Like everywhere else, stay out of the cities at all cost.

“I am a Muslim Arab”

Sure you are. Except 2 seconds ago when you joked about needing to eat ham to fit in with your new neighbors. But when it’s convenient for you to make some point about how discriminated against you were, then you’re a “Muslim Arab”.

Alabama’s loss is Alabama’s gain in this case.

all Muslim Arabs are assumed to be terrorists.

Speaking as a native of New Jersey, I can say that I definitely agree that not all muslims are terrorists. Only some of them are. All of the rest of them provide money and support them and their cause but don't actually pull the triggers.

"Muslims do not eat ham."

Agreed. That's what I caught too.

Being a Muslim has two definitions:
1. Someone who believes Muhammad's many, many violent teachings in the Koran, and
2. Someone who has never eaten bacon.

Once you go pork you grab another fork. LOL

Why does the wind always blow to the east in Pennsylvania?

Because Ohio blows, and New Jersey sucks.

“The assumption unfairly ignores the 1.7 billion Muslims who only desire love, peace, freedom and safety.”

At the cost of the head of the infidels, beheaded by Muslim terrorists.
As the peaceful Muslims look the other way, reading their Quran.
Qaffir has it coming, you know.

BS. This guy comes off as an insufferable turd. I’ve lived rural, urban, and everything in between. People are not that different from each other. Generally speaking, when you treat people with respect, you get it back.

So much diversity out in public, no one speaks the same language and no one looks at or even acknowledges anyone. Yeah it’s awesome.
