I changed my Arab name to fit in - عربية ولكن أخفيت هويتي لأكون مثلهم
About this episode
Ruby Hamad refused to reveal her Arabic identity and her ability to speak the language outside of her home. It broke her father's heart. She explains how some second-generation Arab-Australians are “avoiding racism” and attempting to fit in, from a young age. - روبي حمد كانت ترفض الكشف عن هويتها العربية ومقدرتها على تحدث اللغة خارج المنزل، وهذا كما وصفته كسر قلب والدها ثلاث مرات وربما أكثر. واليوم تحكي لنا عن تجربة مشتركة بينها وبين الجيل الثاني من الشباب العربي الأسترالي، وكيف يحاولون منذ الصغر الاندماج في المجتمع الأوسع بشتى السبل المتاحة للشعور بالقبول وتفادي العنصرية.
