How about this article is an incredible collection of cliches? The only one left out is violent videogames - how can you forget this in Japan? Oh yes the good old "traditional values", like when my grandfather used to knock my grandmother allover the house while calling her a slut…

So does it mean that so far having dark skin would have automatically made you a suspect terrorist? Like you couldn't walk through an airport without being "detected"? Does it mean that the CIA has been keeping track of the daily activities of all non-western looking people living in the…
