(besides the last phrase it was a serious question)

I personally do not think it is racist. I think nervous feelings are natural in situations that you might not be 100% comfortable in. Now if you want to catagorize all young men in baggy pants as "thugs" and criminals, than yeah that is racist... if you want to kick Muslims off all flights, yup racist. But a natural feeling of nervousness in situations, I do not believe that to be racist.

How do you feel about my first paragraph?
