About: Racism in Muslim communities

Racism in the Muslim world is a source of concern for people of color, particularly for Muslims of color. Black Muslims throughout the world report that racism is practiced against them by Arab Muslims, Asian Muslims, white Muslims, and other non-Black Muslims. In white-dominated countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, white Muslims may experience white privilege that Black Muslims and other Muslims of color do not experience. In predominantly Arab Muslim countries, racism against Black Muslims and Asian Muslims is often ubiquitous. The oppression of Black Muslims in the Arab Muslim world is deeply connected to the long legacy of the Trans-Saharan slave trade and the Indian Ocean slave trade.
