Kumar said, "As an American of Asian Indian origin, I find this [anti Asian racism] disgusting."

To which KLP said, "Well, I resent being frisked and wanded EVERY time I'm on a flight, too, kumar."

Huh. I'm stumped. What exactly does being wanded in an airport have to do with racism?

BTW, you probably wouldn't like being a lawyer, or a title searcher, or a court reporter, or a government employee, or someone employed in one of the other dozens of jobs (or is it hundreds?) where you have to go through security each and every day just to go to work, and then again when you come back from lunch. But it's equal opportunity, they don't pick out people based on the color of their skin.

Get used to it. It's never going to end. Not in our lifetimes.
