However, it has happened to super liberal Mr. xo_kathy but he still understand the need for it...at times!!! I've said before many times, Mr. is Puerto Rican but gets mistaken for Arab all the time - by other Arabs. So, needless to say, he got a LOT of suspicious glances post 9-11, he will get stopped and checked at the airport 9 times out of 10. He has yet to ride the NYC subway since they've been checking bags, but he hasn't been checked on the Metro North yet (the commuter train we take in from the burbs). The authorities profiling him at airports or other places that might put other people in danger doesn't actually bother him. However, if he was randomly pulled over because he looked Arab (or Latin for that matter!) then he would be .

So I'm not saying he's ok with it because he's being profiled for a race different than his own. It all has to do with circumstances. Grr, I'm not explaining it very well, but I hope it makes some sense...

Stupid cops. He is Puerto Rican. He is not a terrorist. He is a drug dealer.
