It all combines to show that racist and sexist prejudices are still in play at US POEs too -- not that the US is that unique in this regard.

What about when they ask me, a white male, detailed questions about what I was doing in Latin America and why I went there and who paid for me trip? Is that racist and sexist prejudice? Or they ask to look at photos of my trip to Cambodia so see if there is kiddie porn? Is that racist and sexist prejudice? These constant allegations or racism and sexism, unsupported by any evidence, whenever a woman or minority are investigated are quite silly.
