States experienced an increase in exceptionalism as well as a creation of the idea of Arab people as terrorists and menacing people. To present day the association of Arab people to this event has resulted in De Cardio racism as observed through the media and polls showing that half of polled young Arab Americans had experienced discrimination (whether that be de jure or De Cardio) after 9/11. Major events also include events that span over longer periods; as an example, the prohibition of interracial marriage in the United States which after legal changes still caused interracial couples to face hostility through both covert and overt racism as seen with "preserve the race" language. Another example is of slavery in the Caribbean and how the slot that slaves socially took up in the context of white Europeans still permeates to modern day creating covert racism resulting in differing work opportunities.
