    What are you good at besides bragging about your parent's wealth that you had nothing to do with? What skills do you possess?

    He's a better Marine than you. Because he went to private school, of course.

    yes you are talking about applying for jobs and being employable, your family taking in income and having a house. typical new money peasant talk. a decent yacht or a decent place in manhattan/silicon valley/south of france/HK/etc/etc will eat up your $25M+ in one transaction. oh wait, how many siblings do you have? maybe you actually only have $5M to your name. now you can barely afford a place even in river oaks. much less artwork for the interior, much less upkeep and property tax. point being, you really are not wealthy. there's nothing wrong with that, but you need to stop talking as if you are.

    must have been a very successful graduation class. The average starting salary for a Rice MBA grad is about 100K.

    I don't believe eddiewinslow has any kind of graduate degree from any major university.

    Nobody could fall for the stuff he believes in and post the stats that he's been posting thinking they are true or relevant and have gotten a graduate degree from Rice, or any other major university.

    perhaps another internet douchbag has helped to shape and inspire EW's pathetic display here...

    Enough with the troll feeding!

    I wonder if there are any Sikhs on CF and if we can get some input as to if theyve been in similar situations/faced ignorant insults etc.

    I am sikh after 9/11 people said Osama was my uncle for months (I was in high school). 99% of people are too stupid to know the difference between Sikhs and Muslims.

    It's a pity that anyone would get abused or attacked because of their appearance.

    Only ignorant people would do this.

    Like people who attack women who are not wearing a veil with acid. Or people who think they can sexually abuse women who are not veiled.

    Or people like in the OP.

    They got abused because they look like a certain group of people and because that certain group of people has been generalized to be bad and to be terrorist. So, yes, they are very ignorant.

    Now, the truth is there are very bad people and terrorists within the Muslim faith, but when people keep on generalizing that the faith itself is the root cause and the only root cause loudly and over and over again, it's not that hard to see why some people then see all people that look like Muslim as terrorists.

    Just because some idiots will take any reason to mistreat people of a certain appearance doesn't mean one should not be allowed to criticize the elements of intolerance in a religious ideology which serve as a root cause for violence and hatred.

    People have been telling you over and over again that your criticism of Islam can also be said about the religion that you subscribe to. You deny this fact and keep rambling your propaganda. This propaganda is no different than what was done to the Jews by Christians. It eventually lead to the holocaust.

    You criticizing Islam is like Dirk Nowitzki telling that flopping is bad.
