The gist of the article is that the person was selected for this treatment because he wasn't white

The gist of the post was that's fine, because all terrorists are brown

The accuracy is that if you wanted to select people based likely to commit a terrorist attack in the US on appearance, you're looking for

1) Male

2) White

3) American

Clearly I don't think that means all White Male Americans are terrorists, but that highlights the absurdity of the anti-muslim movements that balooned 20 years ago and are still prevalent in western discourse.
