Guarded hope.

Ahmed's sister was treated badly in middle school because someone said she was going blow up the school. We're just hearing about that now. A black girl in Florida I think was arrested for making a bomb when she was doing a science experiment, and that got so little attention that I wasn't sure if she made a bomb or a science experiment.

The fact that this was quickly and widely condemned seems like progress.
