Oreo

 


Being a Muslim is independent of ancestral culture per se. To be faithful to Islam, we do not necessarily need to speak, dress or eat like our grandparents.

Similarly, being “White” is not about appearances. We have so many oreo cookies who are colored from the outside and white from the inside. The society we belong to is not determined by our inherited appearance and behavior per se but rather what ideology we have internalized.

 

With time, the internal beliefs result in an external culture which naturally springs from who we really are inside.
