Media
Silva's research theorizes that news media outlest hold some resposibility towards the negative interactions, stigma, and marginilaztion towards the Arabic community. This was due to the fact that from articles published by the New Yorks Time from 2000 up until 2016 would us media frames that would try to assiocate Arabic descendents with terrorism and using jihadist inspired motivation. Silva noted that over the sixteen year period this media framing would only increase more throughtout. Silva compared his results to find out that Arabic perpertractors were signaficanatly more like to be framed as terroist over thier White counter-parts.

Silva and Meaux et al both theorized that one of the main causes of negative interactions, stigma, and marginalization toward the Arabic community is due to the fact that many media framing from news outlets tend to associate Arab-Muslims with terrorism and jihadist-inspired motivations when it came to mass violence incidents. Silva noted in their research looking through New York Times articles about gun violence and noted that over the sixteen-year period of 2000 until 2016 this media framing would only increase through the time period. Silva compared his results to find out that Arabic perpetrators were significantly more like to be framed as terrorists than their White counterparts. Meaux et al note back to research conducted by Park et al that indicated that the most salient association that Americans held on to was Arab-Muslims to terrorism with the notion that people that believed in this association the strongest were more likely to hold implicit bias.
