after 9/11 because these dumb asses are too stupid to know the difference between Sikhs and Muslims (and of course any "brown person" to them must be Muslim -- not to mention of course that in their sad little minds all Muslims are "evil&quot . This should be all over the news. The story is just terrible, and it is an embarrassment to our country.

He represented cherished Murkin values, all rolled up into one angry guy. Highly educated brown people are expendable here, you know that. A job just opened up, now they'll pull some guy off the line at Burger World to fill it.

The shooting has sparked widespread concern among Indian parents who have children living in the US. One parent, Sreemala, from Kuchibhotla’s home state of Telangana, told NewsMinute: “My daughter is working in the US. I have made it mandatory for her to call me twice a day after the recent incidents happening in US.

“Last week, she forgot to call me at night and her phone was unreachable. I cannot explain my situation in words. I couldn’t sleep the whole night. After Trump, it has become worse. Earlier, there used to be frequent robbery on the streets, but now they are shooting our children. How we are supposed to stay calm?”

In India, newspapers and television reports covered the Kansas shooting extensively, with editorials raising concerns about the safety of Indians in the US, and headlines labelling Grillot a hero.

Since Donald Trump’s election, Indians have also been alarmed by his remarks about tightening the H1-B visa programme for skilled foreign workers.

Blockheads would be astonished to find out how many Muslims are working in big city hospitals, mostly as doctors and registered nurses.

That's what makes me so angry about this. I've known Muslims as friends, neighbors and coworkers and starting out as classmates 60 years ago and most of these haters live in suburbs where they rarely see a POC outside a menial job in fast food or janitorial services.
