This Article focuses on the difficulties posed by the classification of Middle-Eastern-Americans as "white" under most state and federal programs. The classification is particularly problematic for those seeking to use anti-discrimination laws and remedial action programs to quell the rise in discrimination against Middle-Eastern-Americans in the post-9/11 world. Additionally, the classification makes it difficult to gather accurate statistics regarding such discrimination, given the difficulties in separating information about Middle-Eastern-Americans from the white majority. Professor Tehranian also addresses general constructs of race, in hopes of provoking a critical dialogue about legal issues relevant to Middle-Eastern-Americans.
