Have you ever faced any overt racism??

Re: Have you ever faced any overt racism??

Ya It happened to me

I went to France in 2000, a year before I started University

While coming back from Paris, I landed in Toronto

Out of all the passengers in the aircraft, the Security people picked me for a body inspection.

First they spend 10 minutes reading my rights infront of a lot of passengers and I felt very humiliated.

So they took me to a private room and padded me down. They thought I was smuggling extacy from France.

I thought of suing but I said forget it.

This was the summer before 9/11
