“Yeah, but who’s watching the watchers?”

You are so right....like the guy who made my 90 year old mom remove her shoes to check them. I asked what country he was from...”Pakistan.”

Also, after 9/11, we airline employees had to get new ID’s because they were performing “more thorough” background checks. When filling out the information papers, you were asked to check one: Are you:
Caucasian
African-American
Hispanic
There was no other choice...no “Other” either. I’m assuming Caucasian means every other race now so as not to discriminate????

I took one of the papers when no one was watching, and I have it here somewhere in my clutter. The info asked made me feel they were just going through the motions.

Probably using the same rules the FBI uses for crime stats. Carlos Hernadez is listed as Hispanic if he is the victim, and listed as Caucasian if he is the criminal.
