I'm Indian, by the way. Religion-wise, I'm Sikh, and we've had to deal with a fair amound of shit since 9/11. A normal tradition in Sikh culture is wearing a turban. Not the Mid-east turban, but rather ones like these.

WAHAHHAHAHA

The third picture in that link is of the Hindustani Seth Rogen, in a turban, with a moustache. Catch him in the upcoming Bollywood flick "Haashim and Sadhvi Make a Porno".



I don't know what India has to do with any of this mess. Sounds like a bunch of ignorance on the part of bureaucrats, Tech.

I also want to point out: The enemy of the Iranian people is the same as the enemy of the US. The enemies are terrorist organizations. They're hard to root out because they fit well within their respective societies. People abroad don't generally have enough mindspace to remember that only certain organizations of nationalists are the problem. It's quick and easy--maybe even sickening biological or evolutionary on some level--to group people and deal with them on the basis of ethnicity. And politics != ethnicity. Even nationality != ethnicity. Media--which is to say, the simple flow of information, not some corporate conspiracy--isn't easily capable of informing the population enough that they can make that distinction.

We're brown; that's close enough. A few days after 7/7, the UK terrorist attack, our family was in Bath eating outdoors at a restaurant. Some guys drove by, leaned out the window, and yelled "terrorists". *shrug*

Mmyeah, I realize this. It's just that this is happening because of 9/11. Not really much we can do though.

What I meant was to ask whether or not you were American place-wise. I didn't mean for you to think I was calling you un-American. Good point, but it was, needless to say, unnecessary.

Oh, okay. :) I'm in California.

God,racism really bothers me,especially the whole 'arabs always being 'randomly selected' thing

One of my best friends is Pakistani, and he was watching CNN a couple of years ago and noticed one of his cousins participating in (or at least on the fringe of, holding a gun) a militant raid of some sort.

SEE BROWN PEOPLE ARE TERRORISTS

The enemies are terrorist organizations. They're hard to root out because they fit well within their respective societies.

I see... So what you're saying is that terrorist organizations are practically indistinguishable from Middle Eastern society?

The only difference is that terrorist organizations have guns. CROSSOVER ENSUES.

Let's see...
My mom woke me up.
I got ready for school.
There was a call...
We turned on the news.
I was disappointed because I'd never be able to see the towers (something I had wanted to do since I was 8).
I went to school...

A couple weeks later in Math we were using blocks for our lesson that day and my teacher asked us all to build a tower that was two blocks high. Then I said, "Now build a plane one block long." He heard me and told me that wasn't funny. Meh.

wow I didnt know this until yesterday but there was a marriot hotel under/between the 2 towers that had people in it when the towers fell on it. and from the views of the window no one could see the plane crash or the burning buidling. also (this was a documentry) but there was a man who was staying in the hotel that had a meeting and was early for the said meeting and went next door into the north tower and was in the lobby as the plane crashed adn said that the building shook violently as the plane plowed into the top of the building. now thats a scary thing to have happen...

There's also the classic story of the guy who worked in the first tower that was hit, but took the day off to cheat on his wife, and when his wife called his cell in a panic and asked him where he was, he replied, "I'm at work, honey."

My grandmother called my mother just before I was about to play Mousetrap with her and my grandmother said, turn on the TV, we're goin' to war.
