    My brother and I got randomly selected for extra screening before getting on the plane. The entire line of random people are not white, what are the odds?

      My experience after 9/11 was similar but also the opposite. I flew a lot back then. I’m white and was very young at the time. I would see minorities getting singled out but also people like me. I assumed it was to try to make it look fair. "See? We’re not bigots; we’re also inconveniencing this white young woman "
