I heard on the BBC that a US airport carried out a body search on an Indian member of parliament travelling on an official engagement. Only because she was wearing a headscarf; there was nothing at all suspicious about her, and she was there on official business, representing India. She said she had never been so humiliated in her life.

And apart from that, in the USA people even get bullied for coming to school with the wrong jeans, if films are to be trusted.

And of course, someone who dressed like a homeless person could expect to get thrown out of top range department stores or restaurants.

Hanna,
Are you a comedy writer? If not you should be because that crap you wrote is funny.

LOL
True.

Hanna, since you wrote you agreed on what Lampada had written, may I say what I think of your searching for the "underprivileged"? You're just searching for them in a wrong place. You can trust me, the US is a rather fair society where everyone with brains can find their niche. You'd better turn your eyes on the places where almost everyone really suffers from the very moment of birth, the world's worst dictatorships. You can start with the following list:

Note that one dictator from the list has already been overthrown, and two others are upcoming...
