My Name is Khan is a bollywood movie based on racial profiling of Muslims particularly of Asian descent. This movie is yet to be released, but with the background of the recent controversy surrounding Shah Rukh Khan at Newark International airport w.r.t his 2 hour ordeal by immigration officials, we can conclude that movie is based on pre conceived notion of bias towards muslims by united states. I can guess that this will be a big budget sub standard movie that is taken solely to en cash on the negative sentiments about US war on terrorism, US immigration systems and rules.
The way Shah Rukh Khan cried foul of racial discrimination because of his last name being Khan explains his level of understanding of the subject. I will not be the one to watch this movie in the first week of its release. This movie at best is as good as his attitude towards immigration official and as good as his understanding of rules and regulations.
Shah Rukh Khan is now on the same scale as Emraan hashimi who has scant respect towards rules and regulations. They do not have patience to understand nor follow procedures to get their ends meet, so they take the shortcut of abusing their star status by crying foul in the media who as usual are hungry for any content.
Emraan has no patience to get No Object certificate, so he threatens the residential society of racial discrimination in media.
Shah Rukh Khan does not have patience to answer his questions straight nor he thinks he should be treated on par with other passengers. So he takes the shortcut to the media with a case of Religious profiling.
The same thing happened with former Indian cricket team captain (Azharuddin) who also took shelter of belonging to minority community and cried foul of bias after serving 10+ years as cricketer in Indian squad.
In not so distant past, Kambli another cricketer from minority community cried foul before media of bias again after serving so many years in the Indian cricket squad. His complain is all about not getting enough number of times a chance to prove his mettle.
I belong to majority community and media has no place for my tears. O lord, give me a chance to be reborn again as minority community member, if i happened to be re-born to Indian parents.
