Why did he do this? Obviously, because we "look" different, are not white, and are of a different religion. Full of ignorance.
Maybe. Or, maybe he was just having a bad day, had a headache, or got in an argument with his wife that morning?? You never know what causes people to behave as they do. I'm certainly not trying to justify his behavior in any way ... but perhaps it had nothing to do with racism at all?
If you "looked" foreign, you would probably realize American ignorance more than you do now.
That's probably very true, popcornbird, sadly. 
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
