4 muslim men praying next to a ventalation fan in a giant stadium looks pretty damn suspicious....thats not profiling.....thats called good security..especially when things arent the norm...and 4 guys praying next to a ventalation fan aint normal

as for the sikhs getting arrested on the NY Tour Bus...again....some passengers complained and off duty officer took action....again...its better to be safer then sorry

besides...those sikh guys were apologized to from the mayor to the govenor...and they said they would be coming back in during Christmas lol


end of the day these guys got cleared and released...end of story

with cunard here.......

why the hell would you pray at a stadium, of all the places in the world. if it was so important, you shouldve stayed home and watched the game on TV. i'm not saying it was right to detain them for praying under the vent, but you really cant blame them in a time like this.

i've moved from my far left position to a better safe than sorry position these days.

Oh gosh, I knew there would be one, didn't think you would be the first one. Ok, let em do what they want. See happens down the road. Its starts with these types of episodes. Just remember the Sikh who got his head blown off, the Brazilian shot, the Hindu stabbed in Boston.

I think you believe the media a little too much my friend.

Let me make something clear. There were TWO sets of groups non-related and sitting no where near each other. One group was praying the other were just some brown men.

sikh in arizona was killed by a fanatic white guy who is now in jail

the brazilian shot in London was shot by mistake by British cops....sad and tragic...however i blame his death on the four fanatics that decided to blow up the public transport system.....

the hindu stabbed in Boston.....again....by some idiot

Look up the stats of countried like India and you tell me if people arent killed by accident or of murders dont happen....then come back to me

2,000 dead soldiers in Iraq, no biggie, more died in the Tsunami. 3,000 dead at the world trade center, no biggie, more died in the quake in Pakistan.

now come back to me.


how does any of that have to do with racial profiling? i'm missing your point.

[Cunard]

Ah I see, you are a Canadian. True, you can apply that logic to anything. 2,000 dead soldiers in Iraq, no biggie, more died in the Tsunami. 3,000 dead at the world trade center, no biggie, more died in the quake in Pakistan.

now come back to me.

what does that have anything to to do with racial profiling by law enforcement officials?

what cunard is trying to say ( i think ) is that shit happens and people get murdered. happens all around the world and has nothing to do with racial profiling. you cant really scream that every homicide of a south asian person is racially motivated.

i really dont see how you're connecting the WTC attacks, war in iraq and the earthquake to this.

[CorpX]

I'm using your logic from the above. You dismissed racial killings by claiming people die all over the place, no biggie.


you're confusing racial profiling with plain racism. racists arent confined to western countries.

[Cunard]

CorpX pretty much covered the bases

thanks :)

you must live in some backwoods redneck place to get racial slurs taunted at you. i dont think i've ever had anything like that happen to me and i've been here for a loooooooooooong time.

if i go to an airport to board a plane, i really dont mind them making me go through the extra bagcheck area because of a "random check". i'd rather be safe than sorry. you gotta give up a few civil liberties at a time like this. having a beard would probably increase your chance of a "random check" by 100% heh. (no, i dont have a beard, nor am i religious).

if you do something that's very out of the norm (like praying under a vent in a football stadium....), expect to be treated suspiciously.

i live in a white town

i work in work camps of 10,000 old white men.....when i went through the security gate...the lady said "your the first indo canadian ive seen in 5 years"

i had a couple people say some stupid shit......booo fucking hooo


your thread was about racial profiling by the law enforcement community...so far you havnt shown anything that would have deterred those law enforcement officials from the reacting any different from the way they did..........until you do, you will get no where
