Do You Promise To Stop Killing My Cousins?

From an Arab American cab driver:

Lawrence, you said in your recent blog post, “I am so sick of hearing about veterans as if they were some special class of people. We have too many veterans.” Me too! I’m sick of ’em too! I am an American of Arab descent. I own a taxi company here in Phoenix. Every so often I have people call and ask if I give discounts to veterans. To the last one who asked, I said, “That depends. Do you promise to stop killing my cousins?” He hung up on me.
