It's great that you're married to an American Indian, I don't see how that's relevant. I was mentioning my Indian (from India) girlfriend (of three years) to show that I would know at least a bit about Indian culture and idols. I am calling you an idiot because 1) it would only be a publicity stunt if he did this intentionally. Was the ex-president of India also trying to pull a "publicity stunt" when he was pulled aside last month? What you seem to be missing is that both men are Muslim. They didn't detain him because they thought he was a (anyone with a brain could tell that movie stars and ex-presidents usually aren't too keen on terrorism), they detained him for "flying while brown" and because of their last names. MAYBE he intentionally tried to get himself detained, but there is no evidence for that. 2) How is he milking it? This man is a very big celebrity to over a billion people throughout India and the Middle East, and all I've seen of it is this one story. He very well might try to milk this story and to be honest he would be an idiot if he didn't use this for publicity, as this is precisely the sort of thing he wanted to raise awareness about. So far he hasn't (aside from commenting on the story), and for you to assume he's playing the race/religion card is... telling. 3) You are flinging a lot of unfounded insults at a man you obviously know nothing about. To be honest I only felt like calling you an idiot because of the assumptions you made about the indian people (not the least because someone I care a lot about happens to be one of them); that it was too dangerous for him to "beef" with the muslims there. It shows YOU, yes you, are prejudiced (or at least make a lot of false assumptions) against (real) Indians or Muslims. And that pissed me off to the point that I called you an idiot.

No Mad if you would read back a little it was when he started to call me an idiot that was the insult but i'm out of here anyway, you and 2bits bore the fuck out of me and what r u you fucking idiot the thread police and lets get real about it because obviously you can't see the truth. This guys new movie is about racial profiling, 1st thing, do u get that. And look it does happen to people that they get detained, I got detained coming back over from Mexico, it happens to everyone, white black, brown and unfortunately he got detained and now he's milking it and it has become a publicity stunt for the movie which once again is about racial profiling. you don't want to believe it that's okay because I'm not here to convince you or 2bits. so now i give you permission dude to get in the last word, go for it fool!!

"....he's probably bitter from that and getting back at the U.S. because he can't open his mouth up at home and he's really mad at the Muslims for burning him in effigy but knows better than to beef at them because at home they would cut off his head and here he's being portrayed as a victim!" Youngblood - You do realise India has the largest democracy in the world and that an individual of Shah Rukh Kha's wealth and position would live in a penthouse/mansion etc.. Oh, and that you get CNN, BBC, CBS et al in India too - Oh and that they CAN read in English. - Just checking , because if you DID know all that and STILL said what you said - then you're a RACIST, XENOPHOBIC BIGOT! Want to know why? You're assuming that the rules are different for him than they are for you - not based on his country (we cleared that up earlier), not based on his personality (we cleared that up too) - but because of his race. Maybe you should watch the man's movie - might change your perspective, and then perhaps some good will come out of this after all.
