What is this "Rac-ial Pro-fi-ling" of which you speak?

Novelist Rohinton Mistry cancelled a US book tour because he was sick and tired of being "humiliated" at US airports.

"As a person of color he was stopped repeatedly and rudely at each airport along the way -- to the point where the humiliation to him and his wife (with whom he has been traveling) has become unbearable," said a statement from Mistry's publicist.

My favorite part is this, though.

Canada issued a travel advisory last month urging such citizens to avoid travel to the United States, but Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said he has since received U.S. guarantees that all Canadians appearing with a passport at a U.S. border would be treated equally.

I bet Maher Arar would disagree.
