Notable Arab-Canadians

[accusehistory]

 I somehow managed to stumble across this:
http://www.canadianarabcommunity.com/

It's a website based out of Windsor, Ontario. It has a few pages on high-profile Arab-Canadians. Go through the website and see if you notice anything - ALL the profiles are of men. There are about three women mentioned in various places on the site, but ALL the profiles

I agree. Not being Canadian, I don't know if I have much to add, but I'll be sure to come back and check this thread and learn more about interesting people doing cool things.

I didn't know that Ann-Marie Macdonald was Arab.

Also, great idea.

May, this is awesome. You should so set this up as a regular website!

I'm thinking about it! I'm gonna see if Urban Alliance on Race Relations wants to host it - then we can build pages for other communities too based on whoever wants to contribute.

I need your help with more names!

I totally had a sneaky, "no wonder I thought Eternia was too good to be a white girl rapper!" thought when I read this. which is of course problematic and unfair, but you know.
