The document summarizes the discrimination faced by Arab Americans from the 1970s through the early 2000s. It describes how after the 1972 Munich Olympics attack, the Nixon administration implemented "Operation Boulder" which racially profiled and surveilled Arab Americans. In the 1980s, violence against Arab Americans increased following events between the US and Arab countries. The Justice Department even developed plans in the 1980s to intern Middle Easterners in detention camps. After 9/11 and the War on Terror, over 500 people were arrested for suspected terrorist plans though only 4 were convicted, revealing continued discrimination and negative attitudes towards Arab Americans.
