Howdy by Jove
Confirming some of my comments in the recent Political Police post, I read today about the New York City cops handcuffing and forcing to their knees a group of British Sikh tourists after a city bus driver alerted them to suspicious people onboard. Which reminded me of the post 9/11 hysteria in San Francisco, where my East Indian female college professor was denied access to a Muni bus by the driver who claimed she looked like an Arab.
Later in the week--after ten innocent American citizens had been murdered for looking foreign--I spotted an older Sikh gentleman waiting at a bus stop wearing a giant Stetson over his turban.
