I agree with the part about speaking out against fundamentalists.
But what if the perception people have about that ethnic group is wrong to begin with?
Shouldn't we hold the ignorant labelers acountable?
Also, how do you ask the question with dignity? For example, please tell me how you would ask a brown person if they're a terrorist with dignity? The implication itself has no dignity. It doesn't matter much how you word it.
