I work in the United States and have lived in more than half a dozen cities and hence i have travelled around a lot. But every time i check in a flight, i face a lot of questioning, unnecessary delays, background checking using my SSN/ Drivers license/ passport/ visa/ work permit et al. And all this because my name happens to be a certain "SYED ABDULLAH SYED AIYAZ" and i am a musllim as you might have guessed by now.
There is certainly a lot of racial profiling across US not only in airports and at every security check point but also in day-to-day life and at work as well. This has happened because the people here are a lot ignorant about any other culture other than thier own and european culture.
And the situation is goiong down hill every day and i can only hope to be back in india as soon as i can.
