I'm brown of Eastern Indian decent. Sure I'll be pulled over and searched at any mass transit system. However, I neither find it embarassing nor prejudice. The fact still remains that there is a physical attribute to my skin tone that attributes to terrorists. Those that has done and will do harm to this country. I love this country and I'd do anything for our families to be safer. If this requires setting aside a few minutes for a security screen, by all means DO IT. Does it fixate a false sense of security in this country, HELL NO! The reality is that this group resembles brown pigmentation, facial hair, etc.. Had it been cacuasian and blonde hair, I think those affected should be search just in relation. YOU CAN'T COMPROMISE THE SECURITY OF YOUR LOVED ONES OVER SUCH RIDICULOUS EMOTIONS OF UNFAIRNESS; this kind of crap leaves this country extremely vulnerable!
I can't believe this subject would be debatable. How can you rationally debate the secruity of your family for a few minutes of a security check? Goonz? Your argument is blind-sighted. As a person who takes advantage of this country and reaps the fruits of your labor; I've seen your folks driving Lexus in some of your past posts, you can't be so blind to the situation. This measure makes it safe for you and I to walk out and about, to work hard, make money and live the American Dream (Don't mean to target you Goonz, but I feel pretty strongly aganist your opinion, as another fellow brown, young American).
Sure, one can debate that a security check of all groups should be placed, but this is not plausible with the lack of man-power and technology. So one would have to create a system where those who physically appear to be a terrorist be searched. Hell, I feel less safe right now with this racial profiling BS. I'd rather have people who look like me be searched; I'd feel a lot safer.
Ok--so I promised myself I wouldn't post here until the MCATs were over, but this one got me fired up!
