L ike millions of people who watched the horrifYing events of September 11 live on television, my immediate reaction and thoughts were, who did it? What kind of a mind planned this? What was being sought by taking the lives of so many innocent people? Terrified, confused, and overpowered by the enormity of the crime, one could hardly think of the immediate social and political consequences of the tragedy for specific groups of people or consider that September 11 would become the subtext of a world politics justifYing notorious racist domestic policies and aggression abroad. Much has happened since. The hysterical reaction of the U.S. government, with its imposition of severe restrictions on the liberties of its terrified citizens, its extensive buildup of intelligence and surveillance apparatuses, its racial and ethnic profiling, its widespread questioning and detention of individuals of Middle Eastern origin and blockage of their bank accounts or businesses, and its wars on Mghanistan and Iraq, menacingly points to the path ahead. Canada did not go the same path, at least not for long and certainly not with the same intensity as its neighbor. But it is the United States that sets the tone for world politics. And in any case, numerous villainous attacks on Canadian citizens who were or were perceived to be from the Middle East immediately after September 11 and the continuous racist depiction of the Middle East, and of Islam and Muslims, by the Canadian media, too, have done much harm to the sense of belonging of individuals and communities of Middle Eastern origin. The message is clear. Having lived long in the country and obtaining citizenship, _ having built a home and raised a family here, does not make you a Canadian or U.S. citizen with the same democratic rights, legal protections, and life options as white citizens of European origin.
