Yes I am aware that many people (unfortunately, probably most people) live their lives with an undercurrent of xenophobia and casual racism but it is nice to have one's suppositions confirmed every once in a while, I suppose.

You might want to try being alert and aware to situations rather than outward appearances, is my advice. If someone is going to blow you up, he's going to be dressed in a hoodie and trainers, or a suit, or otherwise trying to blend in. He's not going to be "dressed like a terrorist lol!" . That's called stereotyping. And it's unambiguously ****ing racist.
