My family actually were Muslims in the US in 1950, and I’m a little irritated at the suggestion of lacking agency.


I am not sure where you got the idea that I was saying a Muslim wouldn’t have agency. I am only saying that if a Muslim was dropped in the middle of the country in the 1950s, they would likely encounter difficulties that a white man wouldnt, and that assuming you could just go anywhere in the 1950s and be easily successful is not equally true for everyone.


Muslims can be white too. Muslim isn’t a race.


You are right, I should have said Christian.
