**it’s not as much flawed as it is subjective.  For me, when I walk past a bunch
of Mexicans lounging against a library wall I get nervous.  They never did
anything to me.  But in high school the guys who lounged there were all Mexicans
and when I walked past them I got harassed and beaten.  True story.  So yea, the
comparison might be totally valid to the person who has been robbed by blacks
enough times to instill a reasonable fear.  Details matter
 
I don't care how you justify it.  Equating someone wearing middle-eastern
clothing with terrorists is just plain wrong, and unintelligent.  Inflaming
people to do so during an election season (when you should know better) is even
worse.
 
**that is not what he was doing.  I find it hard to believe that you actually
watched the clip in its whole context.
