““Whenever we go through a period of de-Americanization like what is currently affecting South Asians, Arabs, and Muslim Americans, a whole generation of Americans sees the following: that exclusion and hate are acceptable, that the definition of who is an American can be narrow, and that they too have a license to profile. Their license is issued when others around them engage in hate, and the government engages in its own profiling. This is one regrettable process of racism that haunts our country.””
