"It was one of countless incidents in which Lowder, now 33, was mistaken for being White. 'I've been pulled over with my boyfriends because I looked like a little teenage White girl in a car with a Black man,' says Lowder, who is the fairest of her siblings. The reaction she gets from White Americans who discover that she's Black and biracial ranges from intense anger to firecracker curiosity. 'I become the great interpreter,' says Lowder, who is flooded with questions. 'Why do Black people steal? Can Black people tan? Why are the bottoms of their hands and feet pink?' she's been asked. 'But if I tell a Black person about my White father, they don't ask me to explain White people to them.' "

"Sin embargo, los atentados del 11 de septiembre reinvirtieron el proceso inicial de suicidio cultural. Según Akmir, el ataque contra las Torres Gemelas hizo que "muchos latinoamericanos descubrieran" a los árabes, especialmente en la zona de la triple frontera, entre Argentina, Brasil y Paraguay, donde "se asienta una emigración árabe musulmana reciente". Y de la marginación por motivos étnicos de principios del siglo XX se produce un salto a la marginación actual por motivos religiosos, que ha llevado a mezclar los conceptos de raza y religión y a no distinguir entre lo árabe y lo musulmán. Ha sido precisamente esta nueva forma de discriminación la que ha estimulado el despertar de las nuevas generaciones árabes latinoamericanas, que rechazan la identificación de islam y terrorismo y vuelven a reivindicar su identidad, a interesarse por su cultura y a sentirse orgullosos de la civilización de sus bisabuelos."
