This kind of remind me of Israel. I traveled and worked with folks there a few times.

When go to/from/thru the airport, if I was with Hebrew speaking Jewish co-workers, everything would get thru in a few seconds.

There was one time I (Asian) was with Indian co-workers without the company issue security letter, we were search for 3 hours at the airport. Both of our laptop were completely disassembled and Xray multiple times. We were questioned for a long time separately by multiple people.

They must have our previous trip history base on passport record, etc. But ...

Anyway, later I asked a Jewish co-worker about is there any law in Israel about anti-discrimination base on race, color of skin, language spoken, etc. He said we always / must discriminated base on those info!

A different way for thinking compare the "official PC" view of US.

AFAIK Israel actually attempts airport security instead of security theatre, which is understandable considering what happens there.

Israel is pretty upfront that they do discriminate at airports. Whereas the US/UK has those ridiculous random path mats.

Israel doesn't have the Politically Correct police dominating their country because they only use Political Correctness to dominate other countries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ
