It's still surprising, though not entirely unexpected, how our prejudices, jealousies, hatreds towards a community can express themselves during a disaster. How we can immediately bring up a past unkindness of a person and make him or her the representative of the entire community to justify ourselves in saying, "Of course it had to happen", "These people..." and an excuse to do nothing of help. And it also makes you wonder what kind of representative you may have been for the many slots you may represent, when someone sits in judgement some day.
