In 1999 when I lived in Phoenix, there were 2-3 Arab men who were apprehended after their America West flied landed. They tried to force their way into the cockpit of the plane during the flight, saying they were simply looking for the bathroom. This was on the front page of the Arizona Republic if I recall correctly.
The flight attendants said they were acting very suspiciously. But of course, the Arabs claimed it was racism and discriminatiion for them to even have questioned. Once the racism claim was raised, noone in the media dared to do any other investigation or research. So that story just went away. 9-11 happens and it turns out that some of these perps had taken flight training in Arizona. More than a coincidence if you ask me.
However, noone gives a crap. The media, the govt. the universities, the police, all of them are more afraid to be called racist than anything else. It is that simple. If we lived in a society with any kind of sense, we'd have addressed black on white crime a long, long time ago.
