This is nothing more than a simple act of naive bigotry. A bunch of ignorant Americans were terrified by... a bunch of Syrian minstrels. Behavior like this is what is causing Indian engineers and others who look "foreign" to start leaving Silicon Valley because of the suspicious looks, whispers and outright expressions of hostility. Instead of triggering calls for profiling, Ms. Jacobsen's piece should trigger national reflection on rising American racism and xenophobia.
