I-Raynians Need Not Apply

" Iranian Robs Grocery Store" Pg.117

It surprised me that, even though there was a fairly hostile situation going on with Iran at the time, that they would specify the persons race. If it were a Russian, Brazilian or even American that robbed the store then it would have just been deemed a robbery. It would not have been a major headline story, it was a headline story because of the fact that an Iranian robbed the store. It was interesting that because of a current situation something could get so much more press and acknowledgment.

"Wanted:Iranians for target practice." Pg.117

This seems like something that would never be said. But it was on a t-shirt and it was out there for the world to see. This shows that the actions of a few people can affect a whole population in a very negative way.
