yesterday evening's comedy
yeah, aasif mandvi is indian, not arab, but he gets the line of the night on last night's "daily show":
after describing various (extremely humorous) ways to make people nervous on airplanes, and being asked why he might be feeding into things (aka the juan williams circus) instead of trying to change people's minds instead, aasif replies, "well, jon, if they're not going to make a distinction between muslims and violent extremists, then why should i take the time to distinguish between decent fearful white people and racists?"
laughed out loud at that one, i did.

So, people who THINK it are decent fearful white folks, but if they have the audacity to express a fear outloud, that makes them a racist? I see.
???
perhaps you should watch the clip.
the point isn't about terrorists OR racists--it's about everyone who is neither.
LOL Ok, I will. But I should have added a smiley face to that, it came across as hostile while I merely aiming for "smartass".
