There is a huuge difference between the racism that occurs to african americans and other ethnic groups than the racism that occurs between people of a middle eastern or indian decent. To be accused of being a "terrorist" has to be one of the worst things that could happen to someone in terms of stereotyping. The attitude of the american public after 9/11 with regards to racial profiling and flat out hatred of anyone who could be associated with a middle eastern culture, is nothing but appaling. While i think religion had little to do with the way these "cool" kids treated covles friend, i do believe that this is just one more freightening case in which racial, ehtnic, or religious profiling has taken the life of another innocent person.
