shall we blame god for this

True. There definitly exists racial profilling among asians, and more among people with brown or darker skin, and now it is extended to the language they speak. When I was going in to the airport to send off my father who was coming home to chennai from Australia, the security stopped me at the gate and told me to read a borad. The board said someting like this; "The security personnel has the right to stop any person at random and checked, and if you have any problem being checked, please let us know...." and it goes like that. Why me. I dont see why I was selected instead of the white caucaisan male walking in before me, or infact a dozen white people before me. This has happned for a long time, and racial discrimination is still alive and everywhere; yesterday it was at the work place, today its in cricket and the planes, and tomorrow, I dont know.
