DHS Video Depicts Terrorists as [Only] White Americans

[Ulysses31]

Middle eastern/ arabic perhaps, but East Indian, absolutely not! Why would anybody be weary of Indians for, they're amongst the best, most honest and most productive immigrants this nation has. Well, if you don't mind meeting half way, the DHS bureaucracy doesn't have any business depicting would be terrorists as people from any particular ethnic background, is that reasonable enough? Really though, why did they choose the least likely type of individual to profile as a terrorist? Seriously, besides Tim Mcveigh, what other white skinned individuals do we know of can be identified as terrorists?

Let's see, there's ''Jihad Johnny'' from California's most liberal county up in Marin....OK, there's one... and there's the guy from weather underground, obama's buddy Bill Ayres, the ghost author among other things who blew up a police station and in the process, killed one or two cops....

Dick Cheney? :dunno: nope!

My understanding of what Americans consider East Indians are Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis There is a good chance of terrorists coming from Pakistan or Bangladesh (or even Indian Kashmiris or Gujaratis) and these are not Middle Eastern or Arabs to my knowledge. The entire Pakistani Taliban wouldn't be considered Middle Eastern or Arab, we'd classify them as Asian which I thought was equivalent to your East Indian

If the producers are 'clearly Caucasian males' then what do you suggest is their motivation?

If I were to play devil's advocate I could make a case it could be done for political correctness that has gone overboard and pandering to hypersensitive people so they don't potentially hurt the feelings of some in the minority community that might be that way. :dunno:

That is another possible scenario but is it the only one?

The question I'm suggesting is, isn't it possible that it's just a video featuring human beings?

After all, that's most likely what some of the same people criticizing this video in this thread would be saying if there were other people complaining about other scenarios in other videos...right?

Well, maybe I shouldn't put that supposition on you but I think that's exactly what the case would be.
