Current Event
Ever since 9/11, Muslims have been discriminated against. People from the middle-east are now seen as terroists just because one group of them attacked America. Most, if not all, Muslims in America are innocent, and are proud to live in America, but the people around them always give them a dirty look because of 9/11. This discrimination can be openly viewed at any airport.

This form of discrimination only originates from a certain event, which in this case is 9/11. In the novel, Twain demonstrates this form of discrimination through slavery. The fact that if a southern man saw a free black man, the southern man would immediately attempt to capture and enslave the black man. Ever since the beginning of slavery, blacks were viewed as inferior to that of the white. In the situation today, people tend to not trust the Muslims as much as others only because they are Muslim.
