So as part of my job I have to go over to the US for work

Everytime I go over I get stopped, no reason is givern, but I'm not dumb and know its due to my skins and "Muslim" name.

I always get stopped for a min of 2 hours, I even know which airports will stop me longer such as JKF compared to say Newark

So anyway, this time I write to the US embassy in London to inform them that I am flying over and would appreciate not getting stopped again......they send me a useless letter back and I still get stopped anyway

So the question is, how does one get into contact with the department of home land secuirty or is their anything else I can do ?

Apart from changing my skin tone and name

Get over it. I went through US customs a single mom with 3 kids in tow and I got stopped as well. My things got checked and all my paperwork was accounted for.

I'm neither muslim nor have brown skin.

I'm sure if I were to go again it would be no different. And they were rude and unfriendly about it all as well. It's just a hoop darling, smile and jump through...the rest is painless.

Tell them that your colostomy bag is getting dangerously full and you would appreciate it if they hurry.

Don’t feel bad. I am a WASP and on a recent flight I got stopped, x-rayed all over with one of those hand held things and was made to take off my shoes so they could be x-rayed. I wasn’t even flying from a port of entry or anything. It was from one butt crack city to another in the heart of America. The security people are rude but they are fair; they are rude to everybody.

Comments like this make me sick.
Stop crying you baby.
You're not being victimised because of the colour of your skin or your religious beliefs.. and you know it.

Queue like everyone else, be a part of society like everyone else, or get some vinegar to put on that oversized chip on your shoulder.

Loads of things you can do.

You could get a different job that stops you having to fly to America.

You could get in touch with Michael Jackson - he made a good job of changing colour.

You could have an operation to give you a pair of 48FF breasts.

You could change your name to Ayatollah Khomeini for one visit. The next time you visited and were only held up for 2 hours you'd be bluddy grateful you were only called Fred Smith.

What?! The US Embassy didn't grant you expedited and unchecked passage through Customs just because you sent them a letter stating that you don't want to be stopped any more. What is this world coming to!

Maybe it's time you invested in your own lubricant and latex glove to save the US Customs wasting theirs on you.

The guy is right.. heck my new spam filter has a button which identifies friendly everyone hates cross US borders because they get treated like infested cattle.

Muslim people stand out are just getting single out like cattle with a suspicious rash.

Some of the cancerous racist stuff flying around from US and British sources is shocking..

Most of the racism in Britain is levelled against the native white people actually - from what I have seen anyway.
If you are white, it's illegal to be a racist here.

edit; technically it is illegal if you are not white as well.
