If your family wasn’t prominent, it doesn’t mean that is the case with everyone else.

From BBC News:

The slightly-built accountancy student – who comes from an aristocratic Bengali family – was travelling from home on 9 December when he saw the attack take place on a crowded train.

I think that all Bangladeshis came from very prominent families with many servants, drivers, and vast plantations of jute and coffee.

The very Zionist NY Post has framed Askari as hero, mainly cuz he helped a Jew at his expense. That’s the real reason he received front-page coverage.

Compare: Where was the NY Post a few months ago when a gang of Orthodox Jews beat up a random Bangledeshi, who was eating ice cream and minding his own business, solely for being Muslim? That made, what? — page 13?
