The Commerce Department is considering naming Arab Americans a socially and economically disadvantaged minority group that is eligible for special business assistance.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) petitioned Commerce earlier this year to ask that Arab Americans be made eligible for the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), which helps minority entrepreneurs gain access to capital, contracts and trade opportunities.
...
Commerce is asking for comment about whether there is social and economic discrimination against Arab Americans, along with examples of it occurring. The MBDA will decide whether or not to accept the petition by June 27.

Hillary wants every one of them to own a gas station.
They should just cut to the chase and say that you can’t discriminate against anybody except white people, and it is mandatory that you discriminate against them.
Wouldn’t it be so much easier if they made Caucasians a sub-human species and be done with it?
Argg, you beat me by a minute!
There is no such thing as a "muslim" American...A contradiction in terms..

It is actually aimed for “Arab-Americans”, but we all know that Arab Christians need not apply, and Pakistanis will be covered even though they aren’t Arab.
It will happen soon enough — don’t jump the gun.
So we need to form the Redneck Anti-Discrimination League (RAL) and see if we can special privileges, too?
Wonder if this wll apply to Christian and Jewish Arabs?
More likely Obama would prefer to send us all to “The Camps”.

How much discrimination do Muzzies bring on themselves ... like causing people to laugh at this family portrait for example?
They fully intend to subjugate white males for no other reason than we are the largest portion of the population and we are the ones who are armed to the teeth. They need to hammer us down so they can rule.

The last paragraph says "MBDA services are now offered to African-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Spanish-speaking Americans, American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, Hasidic Jews, Asian-Pacific Americans and Asian Indians."
Asian Indians can come over on an H1B, get permanent residency, and then qualify for minority set-asides?
They already get federal preferences. When our local post offices needed a concrete pad for parking spaces, they couldn’t hire a local company. Instead an Arab owned company came 70 miles from Detroit and spent 3 weeks doing an 8 hour job and didn’t even finish.
You are right Brother.
We are an endangered species.
