Re: There's 2 sides to stories

SO has olive complexion, but with a bit of decent sun exposure soon goes dark and very Middle East stereotype looking..

When in "pale" state, sails through airports hassle free.

When "darker" invariably pulled aside for additional checks / pat down etc.

As name the same, same type of travel, only difference being skin shade, then I would go for "racial" profiling, being generous could say subconscious not overtly directed, but still makes it bias.
