Actually, it seems the OP is also "white", as Indians from India are considered "caucasian", which is also "white".

This is your own experience, at your own USCIS office. You can't generalize this to all people from India, nor all USCIS offices.

I've also seen people of other colors getting different treatment.

Why is that ironic?

Yes, I am telling you that in my own experience, the US immigration officers my Iranian husband and I have run across in the past 5 years have been polite and respectful. If that is making your point, then I agree with that. I thought your point was something else.

Geez, how did I forget this? If you think whites are treated with respect by USCIS employees, you are very wrong. My husband filed a complaint against a USCIS employee with the internal unit in Washington, DC for the treatment he received at the hands of one of the NYC personnel.

As for Canadian immigration officials, I have crossed the border with my husband to visit relatives many times. More often than not, we have been treated with disrespect by the agent at the drive thru border control booth. And this is one Canadian to another.

This is my last response to this poster.

I think this is your whole problem... you are expecting problems before you even walk in the door. No matter what is said to you, you interpret it as discriminatory... even if it isn't.

You expect poor treatment... so when you *believe* it happens, it further convinces you of some great conspiracy. What would it take, I wonder, for you to *not* believe you are being discriminated against? I suspect that the only logical response would be *superior* treatment... something which others don't receive, but you expect.

Since you see discrimination in every encounter... you also interpret what we say in this forum as discriminatory. Frankly, that's your problem and not ours. I truly feel sorry for you.
