Nice international folks

As a peculiar end to Mother's Day (same day in Aussie-land as in the U.S.), we went to a 7pm ethnic-based graduation ceremony for one of my wife's students. (The student invited my wife as an ''inspirational instructor''.) The student is from Oman -- a country somewhere in the Middle East -- so the ceremony was hosted by some Omani student club, which spans across the local universities here in Brisbane.

It made me sad to think that Muslim-type folks are going thru the same types of discrimination that Italians and Irish folks, Jewish folks, Chinese folks, and etc., have had to endure during those waves of immigration to Australia and to the U.S. ''Ewww -- they dress all funny and have a weird religion, etc.''

Well, they all seemed nice enough -- and their food was good. Can they **really** be bad people if they serve tasty food?
