Yes. Time, and time again it is been proven that you just can't seem to hurt The Mouse.

It strikes me that even if Disney had responded to the letter the law suit was coming. Imane Boudal was not acting on her own initiative here. The Council On American-Islamic Relations, was certainly there from the beginning.

The other point which makes me wonder is this....

When offered another position, she refused and cried discrimination.

"Their offer to put me in the back is humiliating," she said in a statement. "They're saying because I'm Arab, because I'm Moroccan, because I'm Muslim, they don't want to see me in the front."

So is she Arab or Moroccan? Can she be both?

I would say that Disney acted in good faith by offering the compromise. She gets to wear her scarf and Disney maintains its dress code.

When the EEOC sees that they will back away from enforcement which is why they are going to court.

Put it this way. Getting off the plane in Marrakesh, you won't be spoken to in German.

Thanks, I didn't realize tha they were interchangable. Does that hold true for all the middle east? Are Palastinians also Arabs? What about Lebonese, Iraquis, Syrians, etc.?

Being spoken to in Arabic does NOT make the speaker an Arab.

Moroccans are not Arabs. The Arabic they speak is also different (slightly), from what I was told there.

CAIR is associated with terror groups, so I don't care what they say—or if I do care, I'd pretty much take the opposite viewpoint.

Regarding Morocco, in my experience German is more likely to be spoken to you than English

It was nice that English was so far down the list of languages used to hassle you

French first, then Spanish and Italian about equally, then German, and maybe English as an afterthought, LOL.

Gotta say, Morocco is a cool place.
