typical racist comment...good job...how would you feel if the joke goes like this: why was the Lebanese taken aside at the airport for an extra security check? Because he could be a terrorist.
Not so funny now is it? trust me it's not, it's humiliating that everytime I travel I am "randomly" selected because I am Lebanese...thanks to the "garbage" we have in Lebanon everyone is a suspect!
