  "but I'm actually glad American border security doesn't discriminate." Wait, what? Questioning a group of teenagers is discriminating them based on age, not skin color. They're looking for drugs. Not everyone is treated the same by border control, thus it is perfectly viable to blend in and get away with whatever you're trying to do.

    How do you know they don't question older ladies as well (on suspicion of drugs)? There's no mention of that in the article.

  "Maybe in east europe they profile you based on how 'obviously dangerous you look'," I am from Hungary too, and FYI: we are not a dumb group of people who all have the same opinion on everything, and we somehow all 'profile people based on how they look'. I don't like that sentence of the article, and I don't like how you generalize too. "but I'm actually glad American border security doesn't discriminate." Agree on this. "Secondly, a lot of east europeans again think they are somehow as respected as west europeans" This sentence is so condescending again. I don't care how respected I am based on my nationality. People I respect don't give a fuck about my nationality, and that is good.

    Okay maybe my tone was condescending. Apologies, and removed.

      Ok, no problem.
