Calling others racist without any proof of such is ridiculous and presumptuous. As is the title of this thread.
"Do you really believe a seventeen year old girl of only ethnic European appearance in the same circumstances as this guy would have had the same passengers and crew freaking out? If anyone does, I hope they don't go broke picking up their title paperwork for the Brooklyn Bridge."

"People who want to justify racist profiling or who want to deny racist profiling as an involved factor will believe what they wish."
