Very nice, Mohammed.

As an Englishman in the US, let me broaden your point beyond the ME. No prime minister of Pakistani descent in the UK. No German premier of Turkish descent. No Algerian in France. No Inuit in Denmark, for that matter. To follow your formulation: no “other” in any of these countries.

Yet, to listen to people in these countries, it’s America that’s the most racist place on Earth. Baffling.

All the best to you and Omar. You two guys have served your country, and the rest of us, magnificently over the past couple of years.
