“He should be fired. When someone makes comments like that, that are so obviously racially prejudiced. We don't tolerate that in modern American society. We certainly didn't tolerate it in the U.S. Army and we don't tolerate it here. It's wrong.”

“Since September 11, our nation has engaged in a policy of institutionalized racial and ethnic profiling.
