Hussein (Abe Jensen)
Jory, Isaac’s wife, is a lawyer at the same firm where Amir works. Amir and Emily invite Jory and Isaac over for dinner, and when their conversation turns into a heated debate about Islam, Jory sides with Amir. She, like him, is critical of Islam (she thinks it’s a hateful religion) and tends to be suspicious that South Asian people are terrorists. When she and Amir run an errand to get a bottle of champagne for dinner, Jory tells him that she was promoted to partner over him, even though she hasn’t been at the firm is long. Amir explodes on her, accusing Jory of ruining his career—and as this is happening, she and Amir return to the apartment and walk in on Isaac and Emily embracing. Jory correctly guess that they’re having an affair and storms out—but not before telling Amir that their bosses no longer trust him since finding out that he’s Pakistani and was raised Muslim (he’d led them to believe that he was an Indian Hindu). Since Jory is Black, the way their employers favor her highlights the fact that they’re specifically racist against people from Muslim countries, rather than racist towards non-white people in general.
