This sort of interpretation of things is, in my opinion, where the majority of racist ways are rooted. Mr Patel as well as Mr Mohammed as well as Mr Robinson do not have to feel responsible for 9/11 beyond the repercutions of their own deeds. If an individual who happens to have a similar name and origin as a minority living in the US causes a terrorist attack, the minority as a whole should not be blamed or held responsible. Some of the most educated big heads in our world fail to grasp the very simple fact that an individual does not necessarily represent a community. If X is proven to have done something wrong, then only X should be condemned... NOT ALL THOSE WHO HAPPEN TO HAVE SIMILARITIES WITH X because yes, the overwhelming majority of them do not condone criminals, just as any US citizen.
Secondly, you naively do not realise how insulting your post is to anyone but you. You apparently walked around for the past 10 years thinking "Patels" were "walking on egg shells"... you sad individual, have you ever asked yourself why an innocent man (and perhaps victim himself) would lay low after a crime he was in no way involved in? Judging from the lightness of your post, I'll take an educated guess and say that you probably lack the intellectual depth to go that far. What you are implying (i'm sure unbeknownst to you) is that anytime an entity from a minority commits a crime, all members of that same minority should be condemned, regardless of whether they were also victims. As for white Americans, you're insulting them by associating them with your childish, despicable bigotry in thinking you are owed any sort of favourable treatment from minorities after 9/11, THEY WERE ALSO VICTIMS AND ARE SUFFERING THE SAME PAIN AS YOU. If I dumb myself down by an incredible amount and try hard to think like you, I would say that all Americans (whether black, blue, yellow or green) are child murderers after having read the news today that an apparently deranged US soldier massacred 16 innocent people including children and women. What would your response be to that you ?
Thankfully, I do not think like you, nor does the large majority of Americans.
I'm truly shocked, disgusted and amazed that I'm actually in awe (in a very very bad way) before your ignorance and stupidity. Your thinking is one of the most limited that I have had the displeasure to witness in my 77 years of existence. I'll go as far as to say that if intelligence and sense were deadly poisons, you'd be the miraculous antidote to both.
Now please, refrain from embarrassing yourself further.
