So I'm out with my friends at the local In n' Out

about to buy some burgers. (damn good burgers)

Two of my friends happen to be of Persian descent (Iranian) and while we're waiting in line we hear "Terrorists, mommy, terrorists!"

A little surprised we all turn around and see this little white girl holding hands with a very embarrased looking mom.

So we all chuckle a bit, but being "different" can still be awkward at times.

Ah well, kids will be kids right? :beer:

You should have seen me today.

I have a beard, I am running around with my computer and I am taking photo's of locations where I am visiting (mostly starbucks, borders and stuff - tmobile hotspot locatoins) for evaluations (contract job with a company)

Needless to say I guess ppl might have thought your fav. cup of joe was next for a terrorist attack.

Pretty sure, unless counter-strike is another al-qaeda plot to train would-be terrorists. :Q

Lol, I knew this might come up when I wrote "little white girl".

Only reason I wrote it was because maybe if the little girl was also Iranian, she wouldn't have said it?

Whatever, not like I think white people are terrorists or anything. :beer:

Regardless of race, people can be stupid. It's possible for a fellow Iranian child to call another Iranian a terrorist.
