Thanks to September 11's terrorist attacks, Americans are too scared of Muslims and Arabs to discriminate against other employees in the workplace.

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, complaints of employment discrimination since the attacks have fallen 27 percent across all racial, gender and religious lines. Except for persons of Arab and Middle Eastern descent that is.

The EEOC has been forced to create a separate category for this emerging form of racism because there are so many new complaints.
