    Growing up my Iranian friend's dad ran a shitty little pawn shop and he did most of his business in paper cash. At the end of each day, he'd take the money to the bank and he'd bring his katana with him for protection. Watching a Muslim walk into a bank with a giant sword just after 9/11 is honestly the only time I've ever respected a dude with a katana.

      Carrying a weapon while brown isn't like an instant suicide?

        Iranians have a lot of skin tones and can often pass for Euro ancestry, at least in the US.
