I just met an old Syrian woman -- begging
She's this placard-like paper sheet saying I am Syrian
I am Syrian or I am from Syria
I spoke to her in broken Arabic
There's a time I think Indians used to work there in Syria?
I gave her some bucks
I feel so sorry for 'em
I think she's speaking very Bedouin-like Arabic
I've affinity with Arabs.
Even broken Arabic helps form a bond in a totally alien country
That's what I learned today
Love-hate relationship
Some are good -- some are arrogant
I think we shouldn't pigeonhole 'em
Just like all races...
