Study finds that Canadian Arab youth alter appearance and behaviours at borders

New study determines that Canadian Arab youth feel forced to alter their appearance & behaviour when traveling across borders. 

“We found a very prominent tendency in Canadian Arab youth to dissociate themselves from what makes them distinct as Arabs in order to feel safer and more accepted when they travel,” said Bessma Momani, lead researcher on the study and a professor of political science at Waterloo who specializes in the Middle East.
