It wasn't even incorrect: her own words were "I'm from Iran." It's obvious that the Apple employee made the perfectly reasonable interpretation that this described her citizenship.
- chris_wot 14y agoWhat's untrue about that statement? She is from Iran! Now she is a U.S. citizen.
- Ralith 14y agoNothing is untrue about it. Obviously, there was a miscommunication, and the woman decided to go scream "Racism!" to the presses instead of clearing it up. Edit: Oh, I see, you thought I was asserting that she was of Iranian citizenship. I understood the parent of my original post to be referring to her being of Iranian race, because she appears to be trying to make it out as a race issue, when in truth it is a citizenship issue.
- chris_wot 14y agoYeah, sorry if there was any confusion. I don't think this was about racism, just an incredibly awkward situation brought about by a stupid law.
- Ralith 14y ago> "Discrimination. Racially profiled. He didn't have any business asking me what country I was from," Sabet said. Sounds like she's trying to make it about racism to me. The only other interpretation I can come up with is that she's complaining about people of Iranian race speaking Iranian language being "racially profiled" to be Iranians, which is pretty absurd as complaints go.
