Beskrivelse

Jeg var en af de uheldige. Og der var mange ting, jeg ikke måtte. At vise for meget hud var en af dem. Men jeg italesatte det aldrig. Specielt ikke over for mine veninder. Af frygt for at de ville sætte alle mellemøstlige mænd i den samme kasse. De har det svært nok i forvejen. Og mine kusiner, der boede i Iran, fik friere tøjler, end jeg nogensinde kunne drømme om. Selvom jeg var den, der var kommet til Danmark. Eller måske netop, fordi jeg var kommet til Danmark.

In English:

I was one of the unlucky ones. And there were many things I was not allowed to do. Showing too much skin was one of them. But I never expressed this. Especially not towards my friends. I feared it would just add to their negative beliefs regarding Middle Eastern men. They have it hard enough already. And ironically, in many ways my cousins in Iran lived a much freer life. Even though I was the one who lived in Denmark. Or perhaps because I lived in Denmark.
