Ninap's Shopping Trip

I'll go first! My name is Ninap and my parents are from Iraq!

what are you doing here? Are you going to blow stuff up? 

They should deport you back to Iraq you terrorist!

Mom for some reason people were making fun of me because I said my family is from Iraq.

Unfortunaley, NInap how the West views and treats us isn't the same as how they treat caucasians! You will understand as you go through life.

No way! I would love to go with you Uncle Goga!

Do you want to come with me to Buffalo? We are going shopping for the day!

Buffalo, NewYork

Your passport says you served in the Iraqi Army. in 1985 What was your buisness in Iraq? I'm going have to investiagte a bit more.

Do you mind pulling up to our building.

Uncle Goga what is going on? why is everyone else crossing the border faster than us?

Really?! Your going to hold me up because I'm Iraqi? what because im a security threat?

Hi, after further investigation we cannot let you pass the border today. We feel it is a safety concern, and you must turn back to Canada.

What safety concern? I've been a Canadian Citizen for numerous years! what happened to being a non discrimnatory nation? A warm blanket for all immigrants?

Sorry sir you will have to leave now or we will arrest you and hold you for further interagation. 

I can't believe they didn't let us pass even though were Canadian Citizens. I felt helpess back there.

Unfortunatley our people are treated differently because of xenophobia attitudes. Why do you think they impose laws like the Third Safe Country agreement?... It's okay we can try next time.

This is a life lesson for you Ninap! Not everyone is treated the same or has the same rights.
