Especially in the US. Our political climate is far, far uglier than Canada's, and currently anyone brown skinned already risks being deemed an Islamic fanatic. We have Fox News spouting anti-Semitism as part of connecting religion to the overall political agenda. It's probably already terrible at the public school level and I'd hate to see anything worsen it.
Unrelated question as part of wrapping things up; Timmy's equals Tim Hortons, or is it a different chain?
