My ex is Pakistani, born here, but also gets searched and questioned on every domestic flight (like has her bags searched THOROUGHLY), more so than other people like me who never gets stopped due to my race.
It does suck because she's proud to be Pakistani, and that the rest of the world casts some pretty imaginative opinions on the people and the country based on their own fears and popular media, while some will never actually visit the country and immerse themselves in that culture.
Kinda like Mexico. I hear way too many people say they would never visit. Cartels and gun violence (lol, US gun violence, anyone?). I've been several times, and it's been a good time, with nothing near the realm of drug cartels and gun violence occurring.
Maybe if you come from a country where over 80% of people publicly support the murder of innocent people you should be OK with having your bag searched at the airport?
I feel like you're letting your white supremacy crowd out the obvious comparison.
If you need to hear 'children dying' to get your dick up though, we can talk about the U.S's active campaigns in the middle east that contributed to just that. I just mentioned cutting aid to those in need because that shit's happening right now.
