Chapter 5 significant sentence

"Boys like Tareq, they don't think. They just do. They're not good for our community. They're vultures feeding off of our fears." - Ali-Uncle from Ask Me No Questions
This sentence kinda pissed me off a little. Even though we don't know Tareq very well he is already being stereotyped as something bad. From the looks of it he seems like a pretty nice guy to talk to and has a really nice personality. Sure his background is a little sketchy (a little might be an understatement :)...) but he stills seems like he means well. He suggested trying to get Nadira's father a green card without doing the paperwork. Even though his suggestion was illegal he was the only one that was trying to do something. I mean everyone else is just sitting around waiting for it all to pass, but Tareq was actually trying to do something to help the situation at hand. I am not saying that they should have done what he has suggested but at least he is trying.
