Nonsense. This is nothing more than a simple act of naive bigotry. A
bunch of ignorant Americans were terrified by... a bunch of Syrian
minstrels. Behavior like this is what is causing Indian engineers and
others who look "foreign" to start leaving Silicon Valley because of
the suspicious looks, whispers and outright expressions of hostility.
Instead of triggering calls for profiling, Ms. Jacobsen's piece should
trigger national reflection on rising American racism and xenophobia.

(and for those who would call me naive, I've traveled over 100k miles
this year alone)
