Why are Middle Easterners still living in the United States after September 11th?

Middle Eastern people living in the United States are still here because they immigrated here for the freedom and acceptance. In this post-9/11 nation, we are too quick to judge people based on their skin color or dress. Look at people of the Sikh faith. they wear turbans and carry around a religious artifact, known as a kirpan (which happens to be a little dagger). they mean us no harm, and are here for the same reason your ancestors come to this country. They also have every right to be here.

Why did Middle East emigrants settled in the northern United States?
Typically, immigrants flocked to the large coastal cities and those of the northeast tended to have a lot in the way of job opportunities. As the first generation of Middle Easterners would settle in one neighborhood, that community would become desirable for other Middle Easterners of a similar background. (This is similar to the formation of Little Italy and Chinatown.)
Are Middle Easterners considered Asian?
It depends. Most of the Middle East is part of Asia, so it is not a stretch to call Middle Easterners Asian in the same way that Russians living in Siberia are Asian. However, typically the term Asian has become the politically correct term in the USA to replace Oriental (the word referring to the peoples of East Asia, like Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, and Japanese). This causes much confusion between which inhabitants of Asia are being considered by the term "Asian". Many Indians prefer to be called Brown or Desi to differentiate themselves from the preconception of "Asian". Middle Easterners similarly like to identify by national or ethnic group. The United States census, however, identifies all Europeans, Middle Easterners, and North Africans as being Caucasian. Egypt is in the Middle East but is in Africa, not Asia.
