That is a good point about appearance and caution.
Currently in my classes, I have students from the Middle East - some female in traditional garb. I have students from Africa, India and Asia.
Given what we know about the tendency to shoot inappropriately based on ethnicity - it would be a risk to assume anyone is immediately a risk or not.
Certainly, we have had had Caucasian rampage shooters.
As far as changing our foreign policy, that is not the domain of this forum. While interesting, it's not for us.
I certainly don't want a SWAT team or civilian mowing down some nice young lady with a scarf.
One problem is that we don't train our kids. If I were a parent of a child from an obvious ethnic group - I would be scared about such.
