I really shouldn't take things so seriously. I gotta learn to be laid back. It's good that your friend got some compensation. thats true..after I wrote the post I was thinking about the times I made white/brown jokes…in fact i made one yesterday.

I mean, I'm just so damn white, it's impossible for it to not be funny. I sweat white-out. I'm surprised I don't actually live in a trailer and have four sons named billy-bob, billy-bo-bob, bo-bob-billy-bob, and cleatus jr. That being said, racism is a giant pile of ass. Amir apparently got some compensation from the airline; they put them up in a rather decent hotel for the night. Mind you, that would be the absolute bare minimum one would expect for any sort of detainment, but it's more than nothing. I must say, mubi, I kind of disagree with you on that one.

It exists and its sad. Racial profiling is judgemental and stupid. To put up with it is humiliating. As little as it might do, your friend should file a complaint. Or better yet get the Canadian embassy inolved. I agree wholeheartedly, it shouldn’t even be funny to joke about people’s skin colour, because racism exists. It exists and its sad.
