Yeah, saw that too. So, you read The Atlantic.
It's true, people are kinda xenophobic by nature. They're not gonna start to suspect every white person they see on the street when they are white themselves.
But it also has to do with the fact that some attacks were huge and stick out. Terrorism isn't new, and has been taking place for a long, long time. Attacks like the one on the USS Cole or the Kenya & Tanzania embassy bombings, those were soon forgotten. Those incidents won't even ring a bell with a lot of people. But everyone remembers 9/11 (and the follow ups: London and Madrid). Attacks like that get stuck in people's minds and change the world.
