Our local paper has this 'man on the street' feature. They also have one for teens. I'm not a big fan of the feature; it's shallow, by definition. But people like seeing their photos in the paper. So be it.
For a long time, they always asked teens really vapid, idiotic questions like, "What's your favorite shampoo?" Then someone wrote a letter complaining that this is patronizing. So now, they actually ask real questions.
Today's query was: 'What do you think is the most important issue in the U.S. and why?'
One 16 year old answered: "Too many foreigners in the country. They are taking our jobs."
The kid had the typically American name: Mehmood Sheikh.
He looks South Asian.

I'm the guy who said this. I was kidding
To the person who left the anonymous comment: I don't publish completely anonymous comments. If you want to resubmit it and at least sign your name, then go ahead.
Mehmood said he was joking and I accept that.
