“i spoke to a woman who was protesting the building of a mosque in murfreesboro, tennessee because she believed that it was a terrorist training camp. she also said one in five muslims are terrorists. i told her that amounted to almost three hundred million terrorists. she didn’t balk until i said, ‘well, i can’t understand what is taking us so long.’”

“the only indian accent i had any reference to was my parents’ and the last thing any immigrant kid wants to sound like is his father”
