Punch Farce

I love both these guys, especially when they are arguing
with each other, it's like a surreal episode of x-files or
outer limits. or a conversation between Abbot and Costello ;-)

Farceeeee

my apologies to farce. I have to agree with you farce.

I am not against rule being applying to all. But this rule is racism much like Hitler rule of Jews for keeping security. Which at first involve alienating & then holocaust.
Asians are being single out for this rule.

mickey

i dont know what makes you feel like that....

i already said they catch everyone .. its routine..


or srk is your honey??

Luke Skywalker

Your statement had no logic. Is it not racism to single out Asians? Counter this anybody alongwith my above statement.
PS: All Indian actors are dumb who don't know how to act. SRK is dumbest who used to bleats like a goat. This is my opinion which varies from people to people.

Wasn't it was a routine for Hitler to alienate Jews? So according to you it was good.

mickey

Asians are singled out because asians are flooding their country...

if you have heard about 911 there werent any europians.. were there any???


i have no regards for SRK because he goes there and earn... if he can say, I wont go back again , i will really feel respect for him.. besides that he keeps on saying, i am a muslim, i am a muslim....

SRK and the Indian media must behave otherwise its going to be a problem for normal Indians as well.. cause they will not overlook Indians, but will be more severe from now...










i SAID GOOD???

I would have reacted the same way you have .... if not for an incident which caused me to change my ideas 180 degrees


The least they could have done for both srk and j4x is apologised . I am not saying that they did what they did wantedly ,just that they dont seem to give a darn after they find out their mistake .



He was singled out because he was both Muslim and South Asian.Thats what we call Racial profiling


what are you suggesting ?
That a movie star will carry out a terrorist attack ,so all South Asian Movie stars and politicians should be searched ?

I can understand that srk is a non-entity outside india .

You and j4x could have done little else , other than co-operating
come on man

He sucks yeah .... but he handled the incident very well imo
the uproar was caused by his fans not him
and its good ....now the Indian govt will actually take up the matter with their US counterparts

so every South Asian including the prime misnister should be searched because he may be carrying a bomb ?

There are more professional ways to do that than arresting every Khan and Mohammed .

American Stereotype

good catch :d
always ahead of things

White supremacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anti-Asian sentiments are rising in the US ....especialy due to their fear of India and China replacing the US as world power

This is ofcourse only a belief held by a small number of people ,but these people tend to be people who most often come in contact with Asians like immigration officials

I think when Some "big" hollywood stars comes to India we should welcome them the same way as they did and not jumping crazily around them.

Very unlikely to follow.. Indians even jump when some B grade star comes

I can very well concur that there is racial profiling when it comes to security checks. It is very subtly done so that any such charge is not proven. When someone is separated, they also select a couple of whites with you.

But it may come as a surprise to most of you - or maybe it is my perception - Amsterdam Schipol airport is the worst - they are very racist IMHO.

I can narrate several incidents from Schipol:

• In 2003, when I was traveling back to India (from London via AMS), my colleague was separated from the queue and grilled for 30 minutes because he had several Dubai immigration stamps on his passport.
• Another colleague of mine, who had a similar GCC country stamp, was similarly profiled.
• OK. I can accept the above that there could be some degree of suspicion in the eyes of those people.
• But once I was asked at AMS:
  • "Do you have any electronic instrument?" I said, "a laptop and a mobile phone".
  • "Was this mobile phone used by anyone besides you?". I said, "Yes. My wife used it. My mother has used it. Sometimes my friends have used it."
  • "Why do you allow your personal items to be used by others?". Now, what the F is this?
• Then finally, on yet another trip. An old couple was separated from the line. They were nearing 70. They were frisked. Their hand baggage opened. Almost paraded like criminals while others were watching from the line.
• There are several such incidents. Unfortunately, AMS provides best connections to US from India. But I have made it a point to refuse all flights via AMS from last two years.

This is Pathetic.

Good decision.

mickey

but still i will say, just the way some people are treated here(irrespect of their loyality) the same way Indians/asians are treated there..

just4kix

???

I have seen Pakistani people treated with lot of hassle at Indian a/p. I expect same thing happens to Indians visiting Pakistan. But I am not getting into that territory. There is a different history there.

But otherwise I am unable to understand your post.

mickey

i meant laws..... keeping with security...

Luke Skywalker

No one has been able to break my point till now with logic & no one will. Because this is racism under another name. Much like Hitler one. Weren't Jews were against Hitler & Germany? So what did he do? He first screen them & then isolated them. This law is same. I have found a good poem on this by a budding poet wait for it.

mickey

ok you won, your prize is a week stay in New york airport.

Completely bull's crap. In the name of law, several breaches are being carried out.

1. At AMS airport, my colleague and I were returning back to India (from UK). We were never crossing the NL immigration. We just got off a flight from LHR to AMS and about to board the AMS-BOM flight. My colleague was hassled by the airport security staff. We were returning back to our own country - not trying to enter any other country.
2. At all times at AMS airport, we were the transit passengers. We were more profiled at AMS than even in USA or UK.
3. The 70-year old couple - everybody could easily make out that they were first time travellers. The old man even had a walking stick (but not wheelchaired). No one in their faintest suspicions could have doubted them as security threats let alone with terrorist links. They were also returning to India. It was extremely clear that they were being "discouraged" to travel ever again.
4. My own questionning on my mobile phone? How far relevant is that? What purpose was being served other than harassment?
