What if YOU were on that exact airplane in the exact situation with people who look like they were of Arab desent?
I would have gotten off the plane, or rather not have gotten on. I don't believe that they should've been taken off. Because of the recent events (including Greyhound ~ which although they're saying it's isolated, I think that's a crock of you know what...) I have a very real sense of anxiety when I'm near a person of Middle Eastern decent. And that's my problem, I have to find a way to deal with these events better than I am. In the meantime, it's not fair for me to subject possible innocent people to my fears.
