Sure thousands died in NYC and most people in world are shocked and angry about the their helplessness inability to deal with it.
But then you get the response to some instances of abysmal behaviour to some of our own citizens, hey thousand of us died in NY so how dare you complain about your treatment. What is the cutoff number for us to decide that some of this behaviour is way over the top.
Its OK, every group in world is subject to discrimination why the hell should we even bother to be different.

Whether we like it or not it is crystal clear that the hijackers were all of middle eastern descent and appearance. The behavior of the people in US in avoiding people of Middle eastern descent is understandable, just as they are in a downtown area and encounter two African Americans. Even before this event people of Indian descent and Blacks have been profiled by various organisations and groups. It is inevitable and you have to take it in your stride.
