I wouldn't generalize US either. This is still the country Muslim immigrants want to move to. If this was such a racist, Islamophobic place, they wouldn't, would they?
Well, if things are to go by, then Bollywood is supposedly a shithole for new comers, and yet millions give up everything to have a shot there.

SRK didn't get frisked because of last name. He got frisked because of WHOLE NAME. An actual terrorist was either actually named that or was using it as alias.
What do you expect the US to do? Let him pass without checking and risk another 911?
Pretty sure, he was detained and not just frisked. And surely there is a better way of checking than detaining every person named Shah Rukh Khan for hours and harassing them.

AND SRK himself sent his kids here! Pretty telling.
Not that different from arresting someone and killing them on the spot for just being black. They literally elected one of the most racist, prejudiced, misogynistic person as their President. I myself have seen an American staring and changing seats on bus because my friend who was wearing a Hijab came and sat next to her.
And yet I have met some of the most amazing people who are American.
So yes, I totally agree with you. Lets not generalize either Americans or Indians. This thread is about Aryan's case and supporting him. No need to bad mouth a whole nation because of a few bad apples putting him through tough times
