The racial profiling of airline passengers has become evident to many people. As Baba Ali's describes, this is not unlike racial profiling called "Driving while Black." Not only does this type of stereotyping not only demonstrates fear and ignorance of the stereotyper, but also generates resentment and alienation in the individual being stereotyped. Of course it is important for security guards and police officers to protect us, but a blanket targeting of "brown" people is not the answer.
This poignant video blog describes a situation aptly called "Flying while Muslim." Baba Ali presents his feelings with emotion, humor and understanding. Check out this video post, and his video blog about being Muslim in today's world.
Below is short but powerful video describing an example of racial profiling and "Flying while Muslim."
