"In the course of doing this story, I felt a bit of déjà vu. I myself come from a small ethnic and religious minority group, and one of the most annoying things that I face is when people assume that everyone from my ethnicity or religious group shares the exact same point of view.

The political press in particular has a habit of stereotyping members of minorities. That’s part of why President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral performance with a range of minorities — from Latinos in the Rio Grande Valley to Arab Americans in Dearborn, Michigan, to South Asians in Edison, New Jersey to African Americans in the Bronx — was so surprising.
For years, we’ve been fed an image of these groups that erases the reality that all human beings are individuals first and foremost."
